Good For Nothing Lyrics - Eurythmics

He works so hard with no holidays 

but all his clothes are tailor-made 

his mother said son 

"you've got it made" 

"well you had it made" 

"yesterday" 

but now it's all for nothing 

good for nothing 

he goes to bed 

with a lava lamp 

beds full of books 

hair still damp 

his father said son 

"do well at camp" 

"you'll be a champ" 

"not a tramp" 

"not a good for nothing" 

"all or nothing"

but I was a cocky sod 

and Johnny was a northern mod 

and we ruled the world 

I wore a velvet cloak 

it looked like a fucking joke 

but it pulled the girls 

I got a job on a market stall 

we sold Roxy Music 

the one with Jerry Hall 

my stepfather said son 

"you've got it all" 

"so just have a ball" 

"until you fall into nothing" 

"it's good to be nothing" 

but I was a cheeky git 

and Johnny nearly had a fit 

when I stole his guitar 

I found a new place to stay 

and a hippy who could teach me to play 

so I could be a big star 

then I was on the BBC 

Johnny looking that must be fun 

I wore a tartan suit 

I thought I looked pretty cute 

but now I think what a cunt!
