Master of Nothingness
Written by Billy Carl Mancini, Published by Bonk Zone Music ASCAP ©2021
I once had a friend who always seemed happy and carefree. He didn't seem to have any ambitions or desires beyond what he was doing every day. Just floating through life. No thoughts of pursuing a complicated career or striving for wealth. One day at a time. I always thought, "that's the way to be happy." But that takes a special person indeed.

Lyrics
Master Of Nothingness
Written by Billy Carl Mancini, Published by Bonk Zone Music ASCAP ©2021
Every day is the same old day that it was
And will be again tomorrow
To start the day in a lazy way is OK
For the master of nothingness
Keep in mind that when everything’s the same
It’s better than when things change
He will smile and he will feel no shame
And nothing will cause him pain
Nothing to do won’t make him blue
There is nowhere to go
And no worry clouds his mind
With something else
Not a care, no ambition there to see
Just whiling away the hours
It would be such a perfect thing to be
The master of nothingness
Nothing to do won’t make him blue
There is nowhere to go
And no worry clouds his mind
With something new
Nothing to know, nothing to show
For all the time he’s spent
Looking up into the sky
And wondering why
He’s the master of nothingness
