lyrics

So Good It’s Free

Well, I know my worth but I see my place

As not a foot in the door, more a door in the face
The deal is I coin phrases, you sing my praises
For a positive zero in the negative spaces

I don’t want much as such just more than never enough
After rent and bills we scrape for food all month

Try to juggle with what’s not even up in the air

We start from flat on the floor and descend from there

So good it’s free, so good it’s free
So good it’s free, so good it’s free

You either hate me so much or love me too little

Sure if I were sick you’d hope it’s nothing trivial

You’ve got me pond scum feeding, revenge daydreaming

And your pennies don’t bite so I won’t be grateful

And this whole middle class thing I’m scared might be catching

If you wondering what’s the point then don’t bother asking PLEASE

So good it’s free, so good it’s free
So good it’s free, so good it’s free

They put their toe for a second in the shark-filled tanks

And they’re hailed as inspirational, deserving of thanks

If I could only stop drowning, I’d round up the ranks

And march them crying all the way down to the bailed out banks
I’d cull these advertising and these marketing skanks
And hand their money to the scientists to give peace a chance.
And so we’re sumo-consumers and change needs a slogan,
Then it’s payback time for all the dignity stolen

So good it’s free, so good it’s free, so good it’s free, so good it’s free
So good it’s free, so good it’s free, so good it’s free, so good it’s free

I want a new world order, want it done in style

I want a 21st century Nuremberg trial

I’d watch the whole meritocracy’s elite mediocrities
Suffer their hypocrisy - gallows for miles...
