The Only Ride That’s Free

Live to work or work to live? C’mon, let’s get this over with The money’s stashed in the couch near the TV Let’s get going on the only ride that’s free Don’t believe that old thing they say That ya gotta play fair, that you have to pay I’ve figured out a way to get it beat: Use stealth and speed on the only ride that’s free It’s a long day's journey into night Past nine circles thru that hellish light And if you make it out all right, come and see me I got passes for the only ride that’s free The vanity, fair; the lust, so pure The greed that’s bolting out the door Don’t be slow, and watch out for gluttony Nobody feels wrath on the only ride that’s free Nehemiah, he makes good time Peeled all his tomatoes from the vine And under a moon that shines, he’s a sight to see You’ll shine too on the only ride that’s free Time to rebuild Jerusalem Time to get the Beatles back together again Time to talk like it’s only you ‘n’ me And time to go for the only ride that’s free And all them haters, shouting us down Decked out like Satan’s circus clowns They’re fun to have around in small degrees But they can’t come on the only ride that’s free So gather up thy coin of flesh Take a breath of the River so fresh Past the thresh to the ferryman and the sea Even he says it’s the only ride that’s free And one day, we’ll have solved the puzzle Filled our troughs and chewed thru our muzzles We’ll all realize there’s no better place to be Than forever in motion on the only ride that’s free
