New Monkey - Elliott Smith [Re-Imagined]
from LamesJee Hosted by LamesJee
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 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
