No, Thank You - Don Henley
Well, these are
hard times we're livin' in
Nobody cuts you any slack
We've got
Space Age machinery
Stone Age emotions
Today, a man had better watch his back
Everybody's selling something
the parrot and the pumpkin.
A man has got to fight for what is his
If what they're offerin' to you
looks too good to be true,
you can bet your bottom dollar that it is
No, thank you
I don't think so
I think I'm smellin' a rat
Don't tell me
whatcha gonna do for me
‘cuz I've been there
and done that.
Lady luck's been good to me
I'm as grateful as can be
Never thought this pleasure ride would ever last
Though nostalgia is fine
I respectfully decline
to spend my future livin' in the past
I've been carryin' my load
down this same ol' rocky road
Every day I'm getting deeper in the rut
Workin' overtime
now a dollar's worth a dime
and everybody wants a bigger cut
No, thank you
I don't think so
You must think I'm blind as a bat
I sure appreciat
whatcha tryin' to do for me
but I've been there
and done that
BS blaring from the radio, the TV
hot wind blowin' off The Hill
It's a mystery to me
we can't agree to disagree
It's looking like we never ever will
Like a drunkard in the night
Swingin' left and swingin' right
Republican or Democrat
But I ain't got no love
for none of the above
'cuz I've been there
and done that
No, thank you
I don't think so
It's a little too pat
Don't tell me
to take it easy
‘cuz I've been there
and done that
No, thank you
I don't think so
There's nothing under your hat
No, I won't be
in the movie
'cuz I've been there
and done that
'Cuz I've been there
and done that
I've been there
and done that
