Nobody does something for nothing Everybody expects something in return If he doesn’t receive the prize, he will ****** the land If he gives you something, he quickly extends his left hand To grab or pilfer something in return It’s dark, please turn on the lantern An eye for an eye, an eye for a nose To tell the truth, my friends, nobody knows What the heck is going on Piracy is a fantastic weapon No prize, no land No money, no band No oil, no freedom No fun, no gum No kiss, no honey No hugs, no money Everybody wants something in return It’s nighttime, please light the lantern.

Something In Return, Fringe Benefits
Nobody does something for nothing Everybody expects something in return If he doesn’t receive the prize, he will ****** the land If he gives you something, he quickly extends his left hand To grab or pilfer something in return It’s dark, please turn on the lantern An eye for an eye, an eye for a nose To tell the truth, my friends, nobody knows What the heck is going on Piracy is a fantastic weapon No prize, no land No money, no band No oil, no freedom No fun, no gum No kiss, no honey No hugs, no money Everybody wants something in return It’s nighttime, please light the lantern.
