Ballad Of Big Nothing Lyrics by Elliott Smith
Album : Either/Or
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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 now waiting for your brother to call
i saw him down in 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 to
though it doesn't mean a thing
big nothing
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 now waiting for your brother to call   i saw him down in 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 to    though it doesn't mean a thing   big nothing
