Never Do Anything — текст песни (Barenaked Ladies)

Wiped out down the stairs
I`ll bet you there`s a song in there,
I`m not sure I`m prepared to write it down.
That guy should be me
I`d look much better on t.v.
Then the world would see
That I can do anything.

I can be that
But soon you`ll see that
I will never do anything.

Let`s play tic-tac-toe
I`ll play X, you can be the O.
Thoughts of turning pro have crossed my mind.
I could make a mint
Fill my pockets with more than lint.
I`ll give you a hint
It involves the internet.

I can be that
But soon you`ll see that
I will never do anything.

Don`t write me off as an also ran.
Just mark me down as an angry man.
Got a big chip, you want a fat lip?
How `bout a mouthful of Chiclets?
Life passed me by, but it`s not my fault.
I`ll lick my wounds, could you pass the salt?
I can be that, but soon you`ll see that
I will never do anything

If I were the king
All my subjects would dance and sing
They could kiss my ring
And kiss my ass
When I`m old and grey,
I`ll look back on my life and say
Give me one more day,
And still I`ll never do anything.

I can be that
But soon you`ll see that
I will never do anything
I can be that
But soon you`ll see that
I will never do anything
