Books About Nothing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I got a job at a meat shop
Only thing they think I’m qualified for
I read a famous book about nothing
It was incredibly thick
I live a long long long long way from where I was born
That’s just a paper cut
I got some food in my house
I think it's going bad
My bad faith's been flaring up
But whatcha really need your good faith for?
Only two days, but long days, until I go
Farther away
That’s all the more I figure I can take
Weighing the rows
Before I snap and do something somebody somewhere...
That’s all the more I figure I can take
Weighing the rows
Before I snap and do something somebody somewhere
A long long long way from where i was born
It’s just a matter of time
Before I snap do something somebody somewhere
Will regret
I want to read more books about nothing
I want to read more books about nothing
You can't own your friend like an iron nail
But you can keep a bone if you don't tell
