Lyrics

[AUGUST, spoken] Wade, we're picking up stakes and moving out [WADE, spoken] You're gonna cancel a sold-out show? [AUGUST] I'm not taking votes, Wade This is dictation Get it? I want Jacob off of my train Before the next station Red-light him! [CAMEL, spoken] The hell you will [AUGUST] Careful taking a stand, Camel You're better off sitting Yeah, I've seen you eating our food Without lifting a finger Drinking us dry Like your bottle of liquor You and the vet And the rest of you takers Seem to forget what you best to remember You've got nothing You've got nothing You've got nothing You've got nothing Without me! [CAMEL] Well, I'll be good goddamned It never ceases to inspire The things that people will accept Out of the mouth of a proven liar [CAMEL, spoken] On one hand, you got Jacob, works hard with his head down Tends to the unwell, cleans up Rosie, turns this shit show around [WALTER] Amen, brother! On the other hand, you got the boss man With the big plans to pack the stands Or if you recall, he nearly ran This whole tin can operation to the ground [AUGUST, spoken] You're done, Walter! [CAMEL] You should be thanking Jacob But I guess all the thanks he can expect Is paranoia, slander, and the specter of death But August speaks the truth In one respect [CAMEL, spoken] Ha ha, we got nothing, all right And that's just how he likes it [AUGUST] You think you've got nothing? Just wait Unless someone's got something else they'd like to say I think we've had our share of grievances aired for one day [AUGUST, spoken] Everybody out Not you You stay [WADE, spoken] I'm not killin' anybody, boss [AUGUST, spoken] Because of your friends? You don't get friends, Wade [AUGUST] You get hungry, Wade You get tired and sick For the bottle that you can't afford 'Cause you're too broken to hold down a job Hell, you're too mean for the army, Wade, remember? Until I come along You remember? And things get a little bit better And you get a roof overhead And a soft little bed And all I require Is that you do what I said That's your only real value Without that, what are you? Well, Wade, I'll tell you You are nothing Say it [WADE & AUGUST] I am nothing without you (You are nothing without me) [WADE] I am nothing [CAMEL, spoken] Don't do it, Wade, you're better than this [WADE] I am nothing [CAMEL, spoken] Look at me The train's goin' too fast [WADE] I am nothing [CAMEL, spoken] Wade! [WADE] I am nothing! [WALTER, spoken] Queenie! [CAMEL, spoken] Wade! [Train whistle screams.]
