Burning Hell What Do You Get For The Man Who Has Nothing
I don't have a purebred Terrier, I don't have a
swimming pool
My air is not conditioned when it's hot or heated when
it's cool
I don't have a riding lawnmower or a lawn to ride it on
I don't have a will and testament for when I'm gone
And so on my birthday, my friends say to me
"(What do you get) for the man who has nothing?
(To get some) To get something you must have something
first of all.
(Where do you start) when you want to build a
collection of possessions
For the man who has nothing at all?"
I've gazed into the lidless eyes of department stores
at night
I saw the painted asphalt labyrinths of yellow, black,
and white
I passed the palace gates of the new kings gone hungry
in their food courts
Yes I've stood tall in shopping malls but I always come
up short
And so on my birthday, my friends say to me
"(What do you get) for the man who has nothing?
(To get some) To get something you must have something
first of all.
(Where do you start) when you want to build a
collection of possessions
For the man who has nothing at all?"
