Giving It All Away

Now you see it, see it everywhere
All around the world they're giving it all away
So many faces slaving for someone
If you hate your job then you're giving it all away

Television feeds an empty mind
40 channels but what have we got?
Seeing adventures can be so unkind
When it seems like you never took your shot

When you were gonna write your own ticket now
You were gonna write your own ticket now

One, two, three, four

A&R man says he'll make us rich
Promises of giving so much away
Promises are easy to find
Like selling umbrellas on a rainy day

But what's a [Incomprehensible] my friend?
Values won't keep you warm in the end
Your independence is all very nice
But bed and breakfast always comes with a price

Yeah, you were gonna write your own ticket now
You were gonna write your own ticket now
You were gonna write your own ticket now

Those tickets aren't so easy to come by
Tickets aren't so easy to come by
Tickets aren't so easy to come by

Well, she got it all, you got it all
You're giving it all away

See that man? He's working hard for it
Hates it, lonely, giving it all away
Got a bright new car and he's staying late for it
If he don't they'll take it all away

See that girl? You'd do anything for her
She's all get no give and still you stay
See that girl? You'd do anything for her
She's all get no give and still you stay

But what's a [Incomprehensible] my friend?
This values won't keep you warm in the end
Independence is all very nice
But bed and breakfast always comes with a price

And you were gonna write your own ticket now
You were gonna write your own ticket now
You were gonna write your own ticket now
Yeah, you were gonna write your own ticket now
