Here comes 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 look 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
Then I go in my 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 got to settle for something
Though it might not be really living
Anything is better than nothing
Anything is better than nothing"
No half-dead 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
Got a whole lot of empty time left to go
Now you've got to fill it with something
I know what you could do, don't you know
Anything is better than nothing
No half-dead 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
Lazying around, head hanging 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
Telling me how I can't cave in
That I'm a study in black, need a pat on the back
I look 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
Then I go in my 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 got to settle for something
Though it might not be really living
Anything is better than nothing
Anything is better than nothing"
No half-dead 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
Got a whole lot of empty time left to go
Now you've got to fill it with something
I know what you could do, don't you know
Anything is better than nothing
No half-dead 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
Lazying around, head hanging 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
