New Monkey

The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Here come 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 well I go in the 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 gotta settle for something Though it might not be really living Anything is better than nothing Anything is better than nothing No actor 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 Gotta whole lot of empty time left to go Now you've gotta fill it with something I know what you can do don't you know Anything is better than nothing. No actor 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
