Somethin’ for Nothin’ Lyrics by Work Force

Work Force

0

Tommy had a guitar
He worked all summer for
Saved and sweated every night
Sweeping up dirty floors
And when he played his music
That wasn't all he'd hear
Words his daddy told him
Kept ringing in his ear, he said
You can't get somethin' for nothin'
No matter how hard you try
You can't get somethin' for nothin'
It's something to get by
Well, Tommy left his hometown
Headed for L.A
He was shooting for the big time
Gonna make it his own way
Late one night he swore
He'd never sell himself out flat
Ah, but don't you know he soon found out
It doеsn't always work like that
'Cause you can't get somеthin' for nothin'
No matter how hard you try
You can't get somethin' for nothin'
It's something to get by
Well, a few short months had passed by
Before Tommy was back in town
But a fire burned inside him
He couldn't put that 6-string down
Said he learned some lessons
And was far from a broken man
All the words his daddy told him
He'd experienced first hand
You can't get somethin' for nothin'
No matter how hard you try
You can't get somethin' for nothin'
It's something to get by
Listen to what people tell you
Then hear what your heart has to say
Hey, you can't get somethin' for nothin'
You've got to pay to play
Somethin' for nothin'
No, you can't get somethin' for nothin'
