All You Need Is Nothing Lyrics by The Dead Milkmen

Pretty Music For Pretty People

0

All you need is nothing
She stopped eating food on May the 16th
By the 23rd of August she had lost most her teeth
She said you don't need to swallow
As long as you can breathe
All you need is nothing
There's a car lot on the nice side of town
They'll hand you the keys with no money down
Just sign on the line and then hang around
There's a car lot on the nice side of town
They'll hand you the keys with no money down
Just trade in your baby for the deal to go down
He spent the rent money on sea monkeys and weed
Now he lives in the park with just the birds and the bees
He said you don't need a roof when you're covered in fleas
All you need is nothing
They moved in together in a tent down by the creek
And if they feel ambitious, they shower once a week
They say you don't need a mansion
You don't even need clean sheets
All you need is nothing
I know a restaurant that never asks for cash
They serve a wicked side of corn beef hash
I know a restaurant that never asks for cash
They serve a wicked side of corn beef hash
Just wait till they close and then dig through the trash
All you need is nothing
Heard somebody singing that "All you need is love"
But love's the most expensive thing I can think of
I heard somebody singing that "All you need is love"
When all you need is nothing
Hey, hey Mister, can you spare a dime?
To save this ol' man from a life of crime
Hey, hey Mister, can you spare a little?
Can you spare a little?
