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