Music For Nothing

Music for nothing- Kicks for free

They pay for steak and chocolate cake to sit inside their gut
Cable TV Smartphones A/C and a stupid pedigree mutt
They go away on holiday to burn up in the Sun
Cocktails for sipping, dollars for tipping, you can't put a price on fun

Diamonds and gold will always be sold to show how rich they are
Designer gear, implants in the rear or to fill up a Double F bra

They part with their cash like a contagious rash
they just don't want to keep
High tech and trending, it's all never ending
if they could they would shop in their sleep

Now all this spending makes them feel great
they get their money's worth
They even pay for love and health
and every damn thing on Earth

But everyone wants their music for free, they don't expect to pay
They'd gladly take it all from you and me,
no conscience, just press play

Why should I subsidize 'em ? I'm starting to despise 'em !
My end of the wedge is looking thin
You got my music but I got no money coming in
