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 appreciate
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.
