Intro

Basically same as the Verse

Verse

  I couldn't bribe a wino, on what I used to make

  My fortune was as sure as the wind

  But I was free to wonder, time was on my hands

  It was mine to burn and to bend

Chorus

  Freedom for freedom, call that an even scheme

  Give me time to wonder and to dream

  I'll take the money, they'll take the time

  Down to the land of the bottom line

  To the bottom line.

Verses

Then there came a chance, to make some steady dough

Bouncing up my alley to the door

You fill your clothes with keys, and dammned responsibilities

Trading the maybe for the sure.

(Chorus)

All I ever wanted, was to be a kid and play

Fighting every change along the way

I don't like work, I don't like waste

And I don't like waiting for a taste.

(Chorus)
