Carnival World |
My father always said that there’s no free ride |
You’ve got to make a sacrifice |
So many prophets on the Lord’s side |
Even your soul has got a price |
But talk is cheap |
It takes money to buy your freedom |
And the tax man’s knockin' on your door |
Chorus: |
Spend it while you can |
Money’s contraband |
You can’t take it with you when you go Spend it while you can |
Before it’s taken from your hand |
There’s no free ride in this carnival world |
There’s no free ride in this carnival world |
Too many hawkers on this travelin' show |
Everybody’s got somethin' to sell |
Bootleg Swatches, cardboard Gucci gear |
Watch your step at the wishing well |
But talk is cheap |
It takes money to buy your freedom |
And the tax man’s knockin' on your door |
Chorus: |
Spend it while you can |
Money’s contraband |
You can’t take it with you when you go Spend it while you can |
'Fore it’s taken from your hand |
There’s no free ride in this carnival world |
There’s no free ride in this carnival world |
What’s mine is mine |
If it’s only one thin dime |
My cash was always meant to flow |
Chorus: |
Spend it while you can |
Money’s contraband |
You can’t take it with you when you go Spend it while you can |
Before it’s taken from your hand |
There’s no free ride in this carnival world |
There’s no free ride in this carnival world |
There’s no free ride in this carnival world |
There’s no free ride |
There’s no free ride |
There’s no free ride |
