Here come the sidewalk boss again
|
Telling me how I can´t cave in
|
That I´m a study in black
|
Need a pat on the back
|
I looked up and smile
|
A picture of dissatisfaction
|
That he can only see as a junkie
|
Though I might be straight as an arrow
|
He´s busy shaking hands with my monkey
|
Busy shaking hands with my monkey
|
|
Well I go in the car
|
Straight to the bar
|
Where my sweetie pours the beer
|
For the millions of fans ignoring the bands
|
He´s in my ear
|
Wants me to live in denial
|
Says you´ve gotta settle for something
|
Though it might not be really living
|
Anything is better than nothing
|
Anything is better than nothing
|
|
No actor action man gonna move in to take my place
|
I´ll be pumping out the product
|
Just a total waste
|
|
Look at your hands unoccupied
|
Look at the lengths you´ll go to hide
|
You´re under the veil
|
Pretending to fail
|
Gotta whole lot of empty time left to go
|
Now you´ve gotta fill it with something
|
I know what you can do don´t you know
|
Anything is better than nothing
|
|
No actor action man gonna move in to take my place
|
I´ll be pumping out the product
|
Just a total waste
|
|
I´m here with my cup
|
Afraid to look up
|
This is how I spend my time
|
Lazin´ around, head hangin´ down
|
Stuck inside my imagination
|
Busy making something from nothing
|
Pictures of hope and depression
|
Anything is better than nothing
|
Anything is better than nothing
|
Anything is better than nothing
|
Anything is better than nothing
|
