Nothings For Free lyrics
Song information
Artist: John Mellencamp Album: Falling From Grace
Lyrics
Written by: larry crane Performed by: john mellencamp
We started out With a sin and a lie And moved on to 'what's in it for me,' And when trouble washed up, hell, we just let it flow by And our kindness just washed out to sea
They say jesus died On the old rugged cross To save you from people like me And daddy, he slaved For an uncaring boss 'Cause nothin' worth nothin's for free
Now saviors, they work Lots of overtime And sinners just try to get by And the losers, they play 'Til they've spent their last dime With the comfort of knowing they tried
Well, they say jesus died On the old rugged cross To save you from people like me And daddy, he worked For an uncaring boss 'Cause nothin' worth nothin's for free
Well, I've lived a good life And I've lived a bad And they both felt like sweet liberty And I felt the storm coming My redemption at hand And everything good comes for free
Well, they say jesus died On the old rugged cross To save you from people like me And daddy, he slaved For an uncaring boss Nothin' worth nothin's for free
Well, they say jesus died On the old rugged cross And nothin' worth nothin's for free
