No Free Lunch Lyrics by Green on Red

No Free Lunch / The Killer Inside Me

1985

It started in hot, dusty, two-bit shack
Nine twenty eight tenth street
Right by the railroad track
There came a band
Whose claim to fame was
(?)
But he rolled his eyes and puked his gut
Said, "No free lunch today"
There ain't no free lunch
No free lunch today
I'll buy you a steak
But I'll take it out your pay
You mind the gold
Cause it'll be mine one day
Cause there ain't no free lunch
No free lunch today
The boys got pretty good
At swinging those guitars
Chris had a red organ
He picked up from Mars
But a Mr Johnson came
And took their faith away
He said, "Meet me at the Denny's, boys."
No free lunch today
Well, we moved out to L.A
The city of hope and sin
But all ours friends were
Republicans or on heroin
Then we made a record
For a local company
We traded out souls
For guaranteed misery
There ain't no free lunch
No free lunch today
I'll buy you a steak
But I'll take it out your pay
You mind the gold
Cause it'll be mine one day
Cause there ain't no free lunch
No free lunch today
You're so sweet
You're So Fine
I'd love to marry you
But I'm too kind
Cause Mr. Taxman
Will come take our hose away
He'll tell our children
"No free lunch today"
There ain't no free lunch
No free lunch today
I'll buy you a steak
But I'll take it out your pay
You mind the store
Cause it'll be mine one day
Cause there ain't no free lunch
No free lunch today
(speakin' at ya)
