Giving It All Away Lyrics - Down By Law

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
