"Ballad Of Big Nothing" lyrics
"Ballad Of Big Nothing"
(originally by Elliott Smith)
Throwing candy out to the crowd
Dragging down the main
The helpless little thing with the dirty mouth
Who's always got something to say
You're sitting around at home just waiting for your brother to call
I saw him down at the alley, having had enough of it all
Said, "You can do what you want to whenever you want to
You can do what you want to, there's no one to stop you"
All spit and spite, you're up all night and down every day
A tired man with only hours to go just waiting to be taken away
Getting into the back of a car for candy from some stranger
Watching the parade with pinpoint eyes full of smoldering anger
You can do what you want to whenever you want to
You can do what you want to there's no one to stop you
You can do what you want to whenever you want to
Do what you want to whenever you want to
Do what you want to whenever you want to
Though it doesn't mean a thing
Oh, big nothing

Overly sincere
Smoking in the car, windows up
