Testo Something For Nothing - The O'Jays

Testo della canzone Something For Nothing (The O'Jays), tratta dall'album Emotionally Yours

They wanna get somethin'
They wanna get somethin'
They wanna get somethin'
Somethin' for nothin'
Somethin'
They wanna get somethin'
They wanna get somethin'
Somethin' for nothin'
Easy come, easy go
What I'm tryin' to tell you
Is worth its weight in gold
Sometimes it's hard to know who you can trust
They call you brother
And leave you in the dust
It takes all kinds of people
To make this world go 'round
And everybody knows
There's a time to pull you down, down
I'm tryin' to tell you
I know it all too well
They don't care about you or me
They're only out for themselves
They wanna get somethin'
They wanna get somethin'
They wanna get somethin'
Somethin' for nothin'
They wanna get somethin'
They wanna get somethin'
They wanna get somethin'
Somethin' for nothin'
Honest work for honest pay
Sometimes I wonder
Does it ever work that way?
They're only out for what they can get
Makin' a livin' off of other people's sweat
It takes all kinds of people
To make this world go 'round
And everybody knows
There's a time to pull you down, down
I'm tryin' to tell you
Make no mistake
They don't care about you or me
They're always on the take
They wanna get somethin'
They wanna get somethin'
They wanna get somethin'
Somethin' for nothin'
They wanna get somethin'
They wanna get somethin'
They wanna get somethin'
Somethin' for nothin'
Somethin' for nothin'
That's the bottom line
Somethin' for nothin'
If it's good, they rob you blind, blind, blind
Somethin' for nothin'
Don't you forget
Somethin' for nothin'
They're always out to get
Somethin' for nothin'
Somethin'
They're only out for what they can get
Once they got the cash, they got no regrets
They sell drugs to the poor, arms for war
But they don't care, here's the score
They build nuclear plants with cracks in the wall
Then they get some sucker to take the fall
It's all the same, the power game
It's just greed, my friend, by any other name
It takes all kinds of people
To make the world go 'round
So you better beware
Of the kind that pull you down, down, down, down, down
They wanna get somethin'
They wanna get somethin'
They wanna get somethin'
Somethin' for nothin'
They wanna get somethin'
They wanna get somethin'
They wanna get somethin'
Somethin' for nothin'
They wanna get somethin'
Somethin' for nothin'
They wanna get somethin'
Somethin' for nothin'
They wanna get somethin'
Somethin' for nothin'
They wanna get somethin'
Somethin' for nothin'
They wanna get somethin'
Somethin' for nothin'
They wanna get somethin'
Somethin' for nothin'
They wanna get somethin'
Somethin' for nothin'
They wanna get somethin'
Somethin' for nothin'
They wanna get somethin'
Somethin' for nothin'
