For a Fee

For a fee, you can be
Anything, you want to be 
For a fee, you can see 
What you wanna see 
For a fee, you can be free 
For a fee, you can own
Without a note or a loan 
For a fee, you can have 
Whats all the rage 
For a fee, you can skip living in a cage 
For a fee, that felony you face 
Will get lost or misplaced 
For a fee, you can buy a job 
And be a leaderless slob 
For a fee, you can buy that ride 
To make strangers jealous and snicker on the side 
For a fee, you can have it all 
Live the good life and have a ball 
For a fee, life can be bought 	
But without that fee  
You’re not worth a thought 
For me, I wish to be free of the fee 
Because as you can see 
It’s not worth being sought

Eric (and sometimes not)
