about

With wealth and privilege come convenience and comfort which leaves things taken for granted.

lyrics

It's getting hot, the temperature's a rising
Tempers flaring everywhere I see
Fisticuffs, ready for the flying
Locked up jaw and fiery eyes as cold as steel
It gives me pause, what's with all the anger?
When we've got it so much better than we think
You get down to the root, the cold hard truth
We know, that nothing comes for free
Whoa… yes we know that nothing comes for free

Far away, for pennies on the dollar
Sewing day and night at the machine
Such a shame, in a world with so money
but still can’t afford to feed the family
But go ahead and live it up forever
Someone’s gotta pay eventually
And even though you do and always knew and know
That nothing comes for free

Decked in Gucci, the first class martinis
In the high life, the models in bikinis
Always gravitated to the finer things
But an empty hole is left where all the happiness should be

Never known a life apart from privilege
entire generation fast asleep
Eyes dart down, as through the streets they walking
Swiping iPhones, marching orders for the sheep
you’re obsessed with houses cars and money
But it doesn’t now, and never grew on trees
and from that lofty view, afforded you
you know that nothing comes for free

Lavish Parties, a who's who at the mansion
Still discussing the westward expansion
Clinking raise your glass to friends and fellow kin
Well somebody’s gotta lose, if we only ever win

So one day, the shit will hit the fan
Kick the can as history repeats
And if I were you I’d run now too
Cause we know that nothing comes for free
Whoa… yes we know that nothing comes for free
Whoa... yes we know that nothing comes for free
