DON HENLEY - Gimme What You Got lyrics
rate meBaby picks off your plate-yours looks better<br>And she throws hers on the floor<br>Here, in the home of the brave<br>And the land of the free<br>The first word that baby learns is more<br>So you're out there floating like a big, puffy cloud<br>With the pool and the charcoal<br>And the kids and the wife<br>'til the reruns of your dreams are interrupted<br>And you step out into life<br><br>And it's still gimme, gimme what you got<br>I said gimme, gimme what you got<br>(I want it, I want it)<br>Gimme, gimme what you got<br>Now it's take and take and takeover, takeover<br>It's all take and never give<br>All these trumped up towers<br>They're just golden showers<br>Where are people supposed to live? <br>You can arm yourself, alarm yourself<br>But there's nowhere you can run<br>'cause a man with a briefcase<br>Can still more money<br>Than any man with a gun<br>I said gimme, gimme what you got<br>Said gimme, gimme what you got<br>Gimme, gimme what you got<br>Gimme, gimme what you got<br>You got the price of admission<br>You don't have to ask permission<br>To take somethin' from another man<br>You cross a lawyer with the godfather, baby<br>Make you an offer that you can't understand<br>From main street to wall street to washington<br>From men to women to men<br>It's a nation of noses pressed up against the glass<br>They've seen it on the tv<br>And they want it pretty fast<br>You spend your whole life<br>Just pilin' it up there<br>You got stack and stacks and stacks<br>Then, gabriel comes and taps you on the shoulder<br>But you don't see no hearses with luggage racks<br>Gimme, gimme what you got<br>I said gimme, gimme what you got<br>I said gimme, gimme what you got<br>(I want it, I want it)<br>Gimme, gimme what you got
