Everything Is Free (2004)
By
James Moats in Noblesville, IN
Everything is free now
That's what they say
Everything I ever done
Gonna give it away
Someone hit the big score
They figured it out
That we're gonna do it anyway
Even if it doesn't pay
I can get a tip jar
Gas up the car
And try and make a little change
Down at the bar
Or I can get a straight job
I done it before
Never minded working hard
It's who I'm working for
But everything is free now
That's what they say
Everything I ever done
Gonna give it away
Someone hit the big score
They figured it out
That we're gonna do it anyway
Even if doesn't pay
Every day I wake up
Humming a song
But I don't need to run around
I'll just stay at home
And sing a little love song
My love and myself
If there's something that you want to hear
You can sing it yourself
Cause everything is free now
That's what I said
No one's got to listen to
The words in my head
Someone hit the big score
But I figured it out
And I'm gonna do it anyway
Even if doesn't pay
