Absofacto - Books About Nothing lyrics

I got a job at a meat shop
Only thing they think I'm qualified for
I read a famous book about nothing
It was incredibly thick

I live a long long long long
Way from where I was born
That's just a paper cut
I got some food in my house
I think it's going bad

My bad faith's been flaring up
But whatcha really need your good faith for?
Only two days, but long days, until I go
Farther away
That's all the more I figure I can take
Weighing the rows before I snap and do
Something somebody somewhere

That's all the more I figure I can take
Weighing the rows before I snap and do
Something somebody somewhere

A long long long way from where I was born
It's just a matter of time
Before I snap do something somebody somewhere
Will regret

I want to read more books about nothing
I want to read more books about nothing
I want to read more books about nothing
I want to read more books about nothing
You can't own your friend like an iron nail
But, you can keep a bone if you don't tell
