Don't Mean Nothing

is it bad, is it good?
was it made in Hollywood or your heart?
is it right, is it fair?
do you know, do you care?
you rock star

and the happy man takes you by the hand

it don't mean nothing
that's to say that it must mean something
but if it does mean nothing
it's precious all the same

read a book about a man with a soul and a plan
he's dead now
knew too much, talked too loud
no applause from the crowd
the truth hurts

and the broken man takes you by the hand

whatcha gonna do when this whole place explodes
when this thing finally blows
god only knows
but who the hell is god
and why don't he tell me what the hell to do
cause if I only knew
I just might do it
