Something For Nothing

Lyrics

Verse 1:Felix The dirty ceiling needs a cleaning Floors been beat I stand for hours before the show, band pictures on the wall Load the gear in, feeling like I know I'm not far from home But this place feels really different from St. Paul It ain't all sting, my friends are around me My cell phone headphones, band and microphone I haven't eaten' nothing but a continental breakfast Thank Motel 6 for throwing a dog a bone One can hardly feel alone with all these pictures Press shots, you know the ones that you are supposed to sign Tonight the stage is ours, we don't have that picture That picture ain't us, I'll make the memory shine (DOORS) hey Mr. DJ Would you flip it like the loser at a bullfight Spin it like tequila just a little bite Twist it like a doorknob, let's start the night The extended family is the crowd and they're here You're here skeptical at first,but I'm glad you cheer I don't get stage fright but Twinkie gets nervous DVRG dons the glasses and towel commence service Chorus: Muad'Dib Stand up, stretch, hit the roof Bounce off the walls and shake the rafters loose, that's the truth Man, I want to see somebody jumpin' Ain't no way ya'll are getting something for nothing Visualize and Execute, that's it, keep moving We told you its not worse than pulling a tooth Man, I wanna see everybody jumping We can't let y'all get something for nothing Verse 2:Felix Hey, on stage I pace like a tiger, Yes Felix is a cat, I've got cats at home I know exactly how they feel looking out the window My windows on the stage just your side of the microphone I'm looking at you, feel the eyes burning Intensity is building unconcerned with any person It's just the mass that counts Make 'em bounce till the sweat oozes out Don't leave 'em one ounce Stalk your crew like animals mindset Take a little breath, share a few of those words with you and yours Let me pace my space maybe you'll see 'em feed me I promise you before the end you'll see me roar Chorus: Muad'Dib Stand up, stretch, hit the roof Bounce off the walls and shake the rafters loose, that's the truth I want to see somebody jumpin' Ain't no way ya'll are getting something for nothing Visualize and Execute, that's it, keep moving We told you its not worse than pulling a tooth I wanna see everybody jumping We can't let y'all get something for nothing Verse 3: Felix Day to day drama weighs down my shoulders I'm just too generous with limits A sucker born every minute they say Maybe I'm a sucker but at least I'm not timid Push the gimmicks to the left, integrity to the right Look through the middle at the floor, feel the stomach roar This is still about the vibe in this place I step to show them I'm realer than Chris Rock's hair in CB4 I see the door, but leaving means defeat If I take a seat the local sharks will think that I'm weak I've done this before. Shit, you've done this before So you know that's all to do, hold it down like a bungee chord On stage there's an education to be had The front row wants to teach you they want it that bad The middle wants to nod their heads and give approval The soundman teaches mic technique and wants your removal Now there's work and there's play There's worse and OK On a perfect day I can do both Some days my teachers put me at the front of the class Other days I do all my work but they're still at my throat This is the kind of night when they raise the lights The drinking don't stop it just moves outside BYOB-bring your own bullshit I'll stay indoors I learned a lot Thanks for the ride Chorus: Muad'Dib Stand up, stretch, hit the roof Bounce off the walls and shake the rafters loose, that's the truth I want to see somebody jumpin' Ain't no way ya'll are getting something for nothing Visualize and Execute, that's it, keep moving We told you its not worse than pulling a tooth I wanna see everybody jumping We can't let y'all get something for nothing
