For Cheap Or For Free

The Henry Clay People For Cheap Or For Free Lyrics
1.Something In The Water

There was something in the water
I saw it seeping through your teeth
We watched the walls close in around a room of kids
They were singing 'For cheap or for free' yeah 'For cheap or for
free'

Well there was something in the system
That made it easy to believe
Oh, I'll believe in anything you sell me for cheap or for free
For cheap or for free
For cheap or for free

If you're busy (busy, busy)
Well if you're busy I'll waste your time
Well if you're busy, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, you can always waste some of mine
You will waste some of mine
You will waste some of mine
You will waste some of mine

I want to know what you look like on a bad night, for change
I want to know what you look like on a bad night
On a bad bad night for a change
If you're busy (busy, busy)
If you're busy I'll waste your time
If you're busy, oh, oh, oh
Well, you will always waste some of mine
You will waste some of mine
You will waste some of mine
You will waste some of mine
You will waste some of mine

3.Rock And Roll Has Lost Its Teeth

We got caught in between.
Oh there were fascist kids, and they had safety pins.
And I knew, that we had to leave.

You got sick of this scene
Oh, you said Rock and Roll lost its teeth.
And I kind of agree.

Well all of this talking made us sick
Well all of this thinking, we never thought too much for it
No in the morning, when you wake up
there were these numbers stuck inside of you head
and none of them made any sense

Starting losing your connections
all those loose ties, and all your best friends
and all those casual acquaintances
and everything that ever came from them

we moved around
we were afraid to be found
keep your eyes peeled out for me!
But don't you sweat!

Well all of this talking made us sick
Well all of this thinking, we never thought too much for it
No in the morning, when you wake up,
there were these numbers stuck inside of you head
and none of them made any sense.


4.This Ain't A Scene

We had dreams, they were better off dreams
So you kept them away from me
But the time will come, yes, the time will come and we'll need
them
This ain't a scene, it's just a generation caught in between
It's just a generation caught in between
You said 'Someday they'll need us'

This ain't a scene, it's just a place to be
We won't be settled down until we've seen everything
That we've payed to see
Well, I, I can't bank, I'm somebody's mind to change
I want to know right now how long you've spent being awake

Well, I was wiping all the sleep from my eyes
And you, you were talking about some other time
That you wish you could've been alive
This ain't a scene, it's just a place to be
This ain't a scene, it's just a place for you and me and we can
meet

You said 'I, I can't bank, I'm somebody's mind to change,
I need to know right now how long you've spent being awake'
But, before you invest, oh you should find a safer bet
And don't you celebrate now because you haven't found him yet

You said 'Bury a hole*, it was better buried alive
Oh, we'll call you on the phone, to see if you made it back
alive
Oh, well I, I can't bank, I'm somebody's mind to change
I need to know right now how long you've spent being awake
I need to know right now.


5.Fine Print

Well she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin' that there
Was a little more to life
Somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
Yeah, and if she had to die
Tryin' she
Had one little promise she was gonna keep

Oh yeah
All right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

Well, it was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
Yeah, she could the cars roll by
Out on 441
Like waves crashin' on the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God its so painful
Something that's so close
And still so far out of reach

Oh yeah
All right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

7.Working Part Time

We were working part time all the time
We were banking on the kindness of strangers and loved ones
And those that fall between
To give us everything we need
Cos we need everything

It was a sing-a-long, it was inside of us
Oh, oh, oh, it was a mattress in the bed where we slept
Straight into death
How we slept

Well you like things that shine
And there were rivers and evergreens

And I, I was fine
I was broke but still alive
I was fine
We got drunk and called in sick when we felt like it

We were working part time all the time
Then things got steady, we grew cautious
We were trying just to gain some experience
For whatever was coming next
For whatever was coming next

Then every motive came into question
You kids have seen this all before
You were watching TV and you were having some conversation
About about about about
All those things that you might take
If there weren't any more laws to break

Well you like things that shine but cannot breathe
And I, I was fine
I was broke but still alive
I was fine
We got drunk and called in sick when we felt like it

We got drunk and called in sick
Oh we got drunk and called in sick

10.You Can Be Timeless

You can be timeless and I will be shapeless
And we will find some kind of place that will take us in
And have us back again
Will take us in and have us back again

We got stuck in the middle of some metal road
If nothing happens now then where do we go from here
Oh, once the weather has cleared
I wanna know where we go from here

I will be timeless and you can be famous
And we will see which one of us starts changing
When you turn your backs on your friends
The ones who let you in and had you back again

I was there at the begining
Poor and broke and free
I was there at the begining
I'm always there when you need me to be

And if the backlash felt like a comeback
You keep singing about the same old thing
I was there at the begining
I was there, but just listening
I was there at the begining
I'm always there when you need me to be
