Everything Means Nothing to Me — Elliot Smith

Someone found the future as a statue
In a fountain 
At attention looking backward in a
Pool of water
Wishes with a blue
Songbird on his shoulder 
Who keeps singing over everything

Everything means nothing to me
Everything means nothing to me
Everything means nothing to me

I picked up the song and found my picture 
In the paper
The reflection in the water shouted
"Are your men still 
Trying to salute
People from a time when he was
Everything he’s supposed to be?”

Everything means nothing to me
