For the millions of fans, ignoring the bands
That he can only see as a junkie
Anything is better than nothing
Look at the lengths you'll go to hide
To take my place
Though I might be straight as an arrow
Stuck inside my imagination
Got a whole lotta empty time left to go
Anything is better than nothing
Anything is better than nothing
Busy making something from nothing
I go in my car, straight to the bar
To take my place
Just a total waste
Pretending to fail
Lazying around, head hanging down
I’ll be pumping out the product
Anything is better than nothing
I look up and smile, a picture of dissatisfaction
I know what you can do, don't you know?
Now you've got to fill it with something
Look at your hands unoccupied
I’ll be pumping out the product
He's in my ear wants me to live in denial
I’m here with my cup, afraid to look up
Says, "You've gotta settle for something"
This is how I spend my time
You're under the veil
No actor action man gonna move in
He's busy shaking hands with my monkey
Where my sweetie pours the beer
(And depression)
Anything is better than nothing
Anything is better than nothing
Busy shaking hands with my monkey
Pictures of hope
Though it might not be really living
That I'm a study in black
Need a pat on the back
No actor action man gonna move in
Just a total waste
