Strawbs - Something For Nothing lyrics

rate me

The question was survival<br />

The answer was myself<br />

I was on the inside looking out<br />

You took me to the limit <br />

But you only took yourself<br />

You were on the outside looking in.<br />

<br />

Something for nothing<br />

Something for nothing<br />

Was all you ever wanted from me<br />

Something for nothing<br />

Something for nothing<br />

Was all you ever wanted to be.<br />

<br />

You bit the hand that fed you<br />

Ripped the fingers to the bone<br />

You were scoring blood, when times were lean<br />

While I looked on disgusted<br />

Ashamed to be your friend<br />

Thinking to myself what might have been.<br />

<br />

Now the lone wolf beats a new trail<br />

With scent of easy game<br />

Howling at the full moon on his back<br />

While his lover eats her heart out <br />

To the bitter taste of failure<br />

Hungry for the leader of the pack.
