Down By Law - Giving It All Away lyrics

now you see it, see it everywhere all around the world they're giving it all away so many faces slaving for someone if you hate your job then you're giving it all away and television feeds an empty mind 40 channels but what have we got? Seeing adventures can be so unkind when it seems like you never took your shot and you were gonna write your own ticket .... a&r man says he'll make us rick promises of giving so much away well promises are easy to find like selling umbrellas on a rainy day "but what's a value here or there my friend? Values won't keep you warm in the end independence is all very nice but bed and breakfast always comes with a price" and you were gonna write your own ticket .... but those tickets aren't so easy to come by see that man? He's working hard for it hates it, lonely -- he's giving it all away got a bright new car and he's staying late for it cause if he don't they'll take it all away see that girl? You'd do anything for her she's all get no give, and still you stay and you were gonna write your own ticket ....
