Got a hole in my pocket
Got a hole in my shoes
Whatever game we’re playing
I know ten ways to lose

Some rely on science
Some rely on beer
I rely on confidence
Before I disappear

Stepping out on High Street
Guess I’ll get a shave
Need to start to look the part
Before I can get paid

Looking for a card game
Or maybe roll the dice
Or sell this land deed in my pocket
Now wouldn’t that be nice

I Need Something Out of Nothing
I Need Something Out of Nothing

I’m living in the real world
I move from town to town
I’m living in the real world
Sometimes up, but mostly down

I’m living in the real world
I listen to what it has to say
I’m living in the real world
Just need some luck to come my way

I Need Something Out of Nothing
I Need Something Out of Nothing
I Need Something Out of Nothing
I Need Something Out of Nothing

My mama always told me
The change from right to wrong
But I done left my mama
And I won’t be here that long

I Need Something Out of Nothing
I Need Something Out of Nothing
