Well let’s see, there’s fascism, or - Some sanctimonious handout? Everybody needs just a little more free blow Everybody needs just a little more seed to sow High society needs me to be alone Everybody needs just a little more free hope I am your children Roasting alive Who gets your billions When the ocean fries? I am the needy I made you rich So pay up and feed me Or I’ll eat you, you son of a bitch Everybody needs just a little more free show Everybody needs just a little less greed to grow My sobriety won’t leave me alone Everybody needs just a little more free hope
