Artist: The Pretenders
Song: the nothing maker
Album: Break Up the Concrete
Year: 2008
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
He makes nothing
He's the nothing maker
He's the maker of nothing
He's the nothing maker
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
He makes nothing
He's the nothing maker
He's the maker of nothing
He's the nothing maker
Everyone's chasing a reason to live
Mostly they take more than they give
The succeeder justifies why he needs more than the rest
He believes his own lies and thinks he's the best
My guy doesn't make movies to suit an audience's whim
He lives by a code known only to him
And he 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
He makes nothing
He's the nothing maker
He's the maker of nothing
He's the nothing maker
