again i looked under the sun
and saw the race is not to the swift
no, nor the battle to the strong

the bread not to the wise
the rich not to the reason
for chance overtaketh them all

the bread not to the wise
the rich not to the reason
for chance overtaketh them all

that bread not to the wise and then
the rich not to the reason
for chance overtaketh them all


nothing new under the sun

there's nothing new under the sun
so why bother?

guess i’ll bother..


[right on man... taking pleasure in your endeavors, you know?
i like it!

ooh! yeah-ah...
ooh... that's comin' back now...
i dig it! i dig this!]


again i looked into my song
and saw the thought had at some point slipped
and the style come too strong
and the bible quoted wrong


the bread not to the wise
the rich not to the reason
for chance overtaketh them all

the bread not to the wise
the rich not to the reason
for chance overtaketh them all

that bread not to the wise and then
the rich not to the reason
for chance overtaketh them all


nothing new under the sun
nothing new under the song
nothing new under the soul

nothing new under the sun
nothing new under the song
nothing new under the soul...
