The Nothing Maker
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.
He doesn't Make Shoes
Or Design a New Shirt
Or Take Photographs
But no one gets hurts
And he doesn't
look Trendy
Like guys in Magazines
You won't see him
at parties
He's not the Face
behind the scene.
Chorus:
He Makes Nothing
He's the Nothing Maker
He's the Maker of Nothing
He's the Nothing Maker
Verse II
And he doesn't
paint pictures
Or Write poetry
Or act on a stage
For others to see
and he don't expect much
Santa Claus knows
Cause he doesn't make list
Of toys and new clothes.
Chorus
He Makes Nothing
He's the Nothing Maker
He's the Maker of Nothing
He's the Nothing Maker
Bridge:
Everyone's Chasing
A reason to live
Mostly they take more
than they give
The Succeeder Justifies
Why he's better
than the rest
He believes his own lies
And thinks he's the best
but my guy
Verse: III
Doesn't make Movies
To suit
an audience's whim
He lives by a code
Known only to him
And eh doesn't make money
to Buy watches and cars
Cause there's no time
and no place to go
For a man
who has nothing to show
Chorus:
He makes nothing
He's the Nothing Maker
He's the maker of nothing
He's the Nothing Maker
