Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everything is free now
That's what they say
Everything I ever done
Gonna give it away
Someone hit the big score
They figured it out
That we're gonna do it anyway
Even if doesn't pay
[Verse 2]
I can get a tip jar
Gas up the car
And try to make a little change
Down at the bar
Or I can get a straight job
I've done it before
Never minded workin' hard
It's who I'm working for
[Verse 3]
Everything is free now
That's what they say
Everything I ever done
Gotta give it away
Someone hit the big score
They figured it out
That we're gonna do it anyway
Even if doesn't pay
[Verse 4]
Every day I wake up
Hummin' a song
But I don't need to run around
I just stayed home
And sing a little love song
My love, myself
If there's something that you wanna hear
You can sing it yourself
[Verse 5]
'Cause everything is free now
That what I said
No one's got to listen to
The words in my head
Someone hit the big score
And I figured it out
And I'm gonna do it anyway
Even if doesn't pay
