Nothing is for free.
Diamonds, gas, and rope,
smallest glimpse of hope,
happiness and peace,
drugs and happy pills,
wild *** and fast cars,
Pepsi, chocolate bars,
whisky, *****, beer,
football on TV.

Want a paradise?
Well, you know the price.
Because nothing's for free,
except for *******.

Schools and therapists,
dentists, psychatrists,
swimming pools and saunas,
It's all about "How much?".

Tanks, bombs, hospitals,
blood, guns, funerals,
Status, truth, and lies
"all exclusive" price,
Because nothing's for free,

except for *******.

Pay for stupid wars,
where a human turns corpse.
Pay for rent and food.
pay for "I feel good!"
pay for sleepless nights,
for your born-to-die,
Because nothing's for free,

except for *******.
