Sit back, honey, matter of fact I don't make much money but I'm good in the sack and hold on I need time to react bet it cost a pretty penny Girl, I'll cut you some slack she thinks she knows but she don't know and I can promise you that I've got nothing to prove Well don't sell it down the river all the things that I can give her but she has the right to refuse Hey baby tell me what's the news who knew at 22 that i'd have something to lose and free will – i've got the power to choose yeah, doesn't everybody but i'm talking to you. As broke as a joke can't even buy a pack of smokes I can't afford the fee Tell your troubles to another That's just free therapy There's no answer to your problem that some stranger couldn't tell you so listen carefully Sit back, honey, matter of fact I don't make much money but I'm good in the sack and hold on I need time to react bet it cost a pretty penny Girl, I'll cut you some slack she thinks she knows but she don't know and I can promise you that I've got nothing to prove Well don't sell it down the river all the things that I could give her but she has the right to refuse

Free Thinkers 05:28
lyrics

A state of Marshall Law has been declared You better run for the hills And don't give up when your back's against the wall You gotta rise until you fall And when it all comes crashing down I'll be the one to pick your soul off the ground All accounted for No, not faded I feel the coming storm And only some will make it Because I know we won't fight for you no more The youth fight in rebellion for the cause that they lost sight of And now you revel in your schemes to profit off How much is enough? And when it all comes crashing down I'll be the one to pick your soul off the ground How much is enough? Not enough to go around Because I know we won't fight for you no more

Juicy burgers, greasy fingers 5 to 9, 9 to 5, all night I was staring at the clock waiting for my shift to end Head home to catch a buzz and then said Wake up, Wake up Feel like it's Groundhog Day because I've been stuck in the same damn place Hit the snooze on the alarm at 10am Off to work to do it all again And I said Oh no, yeah yeah Get's so hard working for the man And I wonder if they'll ever come to understand That I wanna play the drums in a rock n roll, reggae band Picking up our style I'll make it worth your while I walk four miles just to clock in for you yeah I work in customer service some days I feel as though that I don't deserve this How could a person treat a stranger so rude Don't these stupid people know that we handle their food Slow down, slow down you're living life too fast cause when the boss is not around I get the last laugh Miss, how was your food? Oh it tasted so good I stooped down to her level cause of her nasty attitude and I said no, no, yeah, yeah Get's so hard working for the man And I wonder if they'll ever come to understand That I wanna play the bass in a rock n roll, reggae band So let me hear that bass line Let me hear that drumroll one more time Just be sure to tip your waitress on the way out We won't work, we won't work for free Underpaid, we want more money We won't work, we won't work for free Underpaid, we need more money I'm sick of all these customers I'm sick of all this staff I'd really love to tell my boss to shove it up his ass We need some compensation We need some higher pay For working on our feet all goddamn day

On the microphone I send my signal to home Living life through expression with a heartbeat metronome Light it up Light it up As we drink from the cup Now you know Don't listen when they say That you never will be What you always have dreamed They'll never take that from me On the microphone I send my signal to home Living life through expression with a heartbeat metronome Light it up Light it up As we drink from the cup Now you know That we don't give a fuck when they say Life on this planet has become so overwhelming That you never will be Drift across my mind the voices tell me What you always have dreamed Travel at the speed of light through the universe They'll never take that from me Stars burn so bright falling back to earth And I found at the end of the road, sweet oblivion so brace yourself for the impact I'm coming back from the farthest corners and places unknown

I feel so fuckin great Walk away she's just a pretty face Say you'll stay I need another taste I'm so drunk I'm slurring every word I say Please be patient I'll explain the situation Sweet sensation from her fingertips I'm wasting so much precious time I'm living in oh I'm living a lie drinking and driving drinking and driving ducking and diving ducking and diving I hear the sirens they're coming up fast coming up quick to arrest my scrawny ass What did I take? I feel so fuckin great Walk away she's just a pretty face Say you'll stay I need another taste I'm so drunk I'm slurring every word I say Oh good gracious I feel so contagious barely speaking i'm tweaking, i'm spacing yeah i'm not moving but I feel so alive they call me stupid in my mind I survive if you're selling, i'm buying selling, i'm buying first time, i'll try it first time, i'll try it cause in a minute she'll just be a memory how many did you take? I think three What did I take? I feel so fuckin great Walk away she's just a pretty face Say you'll stay I need another taste I'm so drunk I'm slurring every word I say
