Something for Nothing

Just a little rant about something I read somewhere.Something for NothingIf you're always wanting something for nothingThen nothing's what you're likely to getIf you want to put the blame onto somebody elseDon't be surprised if you're left on the shelfIf you think you're going somewhereAnd you're going somewhenYou'd better scratch your headand start thinking againIf you're always wanting something for nothingThen nothing's what you're going to getAnd if it's never your fault when it all goes wrongThen you'd better blame us when the money's all goneWhile you're sitting aloneCos you can't find a friendYou'd better wonder whyyou're complaining againIf you're always wanting something for nothingThen nothing's what you're going to getI'm sure if you look hard the answer is thereAnd it isn't just because your cupboard is bareYou think you deserve itBut you don't say whyAs a gift like thatis just a poke in the eyeIf you're always wanting something for nothingThen nothing's what you're likely to getIf you want to put the blame onto somebody elseDon't be surprised if you're left on the shelfLooking for something for nothingYou won't get something for freeLooking for something for nothingYou don't get sympathyLooking for something for nothingOh yeah you won't get sympathyLooking for something for nothingAnd you won't get nothing for freeLooking for something for nothingYou won't get nothing from me© BCR Oct 2010

So...does that mean you expect me to work to get the cash to buy my own butter.
But it tastes so much better when someone else buys it for me.
Wait... uhm...., what was the original topic ?

First time pay the price, then you won't have to buy it twice.

I love your pontification Henry! I wanted to get more distortion and punkish but was a bit limited in ramping up the volume at the time I recorded it - when I next perform it I will try harder!

As always, the attention to detail in your juxtaposition of images astounds. I love the punky mid tempo tone of the song, with the hint of angry snarl (was imagining it a bit faster with more overdrive, ala the Sex Pistols...LOL). Ah, reminiscing about the good old days...but I digress. I especially liked the stoner-like drone at the end of the piece. Pardon the rather lengthy pontification. CHEERS!

@ Wally - it's all about which way your bread is buttered as my mother used to say but I never knew what she meant either!
@ bemuzic Sssshhh! B&W beats that ghastly pink any day! Takes me back to my yoof when everything was like that!
@ wes - thanks - it was supposed to be slower but it didn't work

Could you explain the meaning to this song, I don't want to have to strain my brain.
I think I'm entitled to know, dang-it !
Great song with complimenting video Brian. I'm likin' it !
