Nothin' in this world is free
Nothin' in this world is free
Nothin' in this world is free
You gotta take it
You gotta take it

I smell just like gasoline
The captain of the losin' team
Nothin' in this world is free
You gotta take it
You gotta take it
My landlord won't let me be
I can't find no place to breathe
Nothin' in this world is free
You gotta take it
You gotta take it

A couple young clowns
In an old slow town
Just didn't have nothin' to do
But grab a big long shovel
And click on the double
That's the trouble they could get into
Old Pete was the leader
So he fired up the Vita
And Jimmy jumped in on his side
Left food on the pedal
Say a prayer to the devil
Oh, that boy sure could drive

It's all just passin' you by
(It's all just passin' you by)
Feelin' like you're barely alive
(Feelin' like you're barely alive)
Starin' at your cellular form
(Starin' at your cellular form)
Pretendin' that you ain't all alone
(Pretendin' that you ain't all alone)

I smell just like gasoline
The captain of the losin' team
Nothin' in this world is free
You gotta take it
You gotta take it
My landlord won't let me be
I can't find no place to breathe
Nothin' in this world is free
You gotta take it
You gotta take it

Straight through the light
They passed that pipe
These boys ain't slept days
So when they seen their market
Old Pete just parked it
And Jimmy just got out in a haste
Runnin' amok
Got the shovel out the truck
But not so they could dig
And they don't know science
But ultra-violence
Make a little man sure feel big

Another notch in the belt
(Another notch in the belt)
Wishin' you were somebody else
(Wishin' you were somebody else)
Starin' at your cellular form
(Starin' at your cellular form)
Pretendin' that you ain't all alone
(Pretendin' that you ain't all alone)

I smell just like gasoline
The captain of the losin' team
Nothin' in this world is free
You gotta take it
You gotta take it
My landlord won't let me be
I can't find no place to breathe
Nothin' in this world is free
You gotta take it
You gotta take it

Forty eight bucks richer
And a postcard picture
Of a place they wish they was
Now Pete say, "Jimmy,
Stop talkin' silly
You ruinin' my buzz"
Then his rearview mirror
Got crystal clear
Johnny Law pulled up for the bust
But Old Pete could drive
Like no man alive
Left that pig in a cloud of dust

We're all just goin' to hell
(We're all just goin' to hell)
And ain't got nobody to tell
(And ain't got nobody to tell)
Starin' at your cellular form
(Starin' at your cellular form)
Pretendin' that you ain't all alone
(Pretendin' that you ain't all alone)

I smell just like gasoline
The captain of the losin' team
Nothin' in this world is free
You gotta take it
You gotta take it
My landlord won't let me be
I can't find no place to breathe
Nothin' in this world is free
You gotta take it
You gotta take it
