Ballad Of Big Nothing Lyrics

throwing candy out to the crowd

dragging down the main

the helpless little thing with the dirty mouthwho's always got something to sayyou're sitting around at home now 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 in to 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

now 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 tothough it doesn't mean a thing, big nothing
