I couldn't bribe a wino on what I used to make My Fortune was as sure as the wind But I was free to wonder and time was on my hands It was mine to burn and to bend Chorus: Freedom for freedom Call that an even scheme Give me time to wonder and to dream I'll take the money They'll take the time Down to the land of the bottom line To the bottom line Then there came a chance to make some steady dough Bouncing up my alley to the door You fill your clothes with keys and damned responsibilites Trading the maybe for the sure (Chorus) All I ever wanted was to be a kid and play Fighting every change along the way I don't like work, but I don't like waste And I don't like waiting for a taste (Chorus)>
