Too Much of Nothing

Too much of nothing

Can make a man feel ill at ease

One man's temper rises

While another man's temper might freeze

Now it's a day of confession

And we cannot mock a soul

Oh, when there's too much of nothing

No one has control

Say hello to Valerie

Say hello to Vivian

Give them all my salary

On the waters of oblivion

Well there's too much of nothing

Can cause a man to weep

He can walk the streets like most supposed to

But he'd like to keep

But it's all been done before

It's all been written in the book

And when there's too much of nothing

Nobody should look

Say hello to Valerie

Say hello to Vivian

Give them all my salary

On the waters of oblivion

Now too much of nothing

Can make a man a liar

It can cause some men to sleep on nails

It can cause others to eat fire

Everybody's doin' somethin'

I heard it in a dream

But when there's too much of nothing

It just makes a fella mean

Say hello to Valerie

Say hello to Vivian

Give them all my salary

On the waters of oblivion
