Water for Elephants the Musical - You've Got Nothing, Pt. 2 Lyrics
The song is written by PigPen Theatre Co.
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 god damned
It never ceases to inspire
The things that people will accept
Out of the mouth of a proven liar
(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 as 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 we can expect
Is paranoia, slander,
And the specter of death
Well August speaks the truth
In one respect
(spoken)
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
(spoken)
Everybody out
Not you. You stay
WADE: (spoken)
I'm not killin' anybody boss
AUGUST: (spoken)
Because they're your friends?
You don't get friends, Wade
(sung)
You get hungry, Wade
You get tired and sick
For the bottle that you can't afford
'Cuz 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:
I am nothing without you
AUGUST:
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!
