LYRICS:
There's no free lunch in this here town my friend
You have to play the game and learn to bend
It's quid pro quo or shiver in the cold
But do as I say and you'll hit pure gold
There's no free lunch in this here town my friend

There's money to be made right here if you're no fool
Just oil the wheels of business and be cool
Don't talk about ethics they're no good
I left mine in my old neighbourhood
There's money to be made right here if you're no fool

Quid pro quo well what do you know
That's the way I run the show
Give me this and I'll give you that
Kind of like a tit for tat
Scratch my back and one fine day
I'll scratch yours so what do you say
But always remember kid I run this show

You need to quickly learn what's best for you
We fat cats must be fed so take my cue
You'll get the scraps but stick around
And soon you'll be on higher ground
You need to quickly learn what's best for you

Quid pro quo well what do you know
That's the way I run the show
Give me this and I'll give you that
Kind of like a tit for tat
Scratch my back and one fine day
I'll scratch yours so what do you say
But always remember kid I run this show

You'll climb the corporate ladder given time
Then life from way up high will look just fine
What's that you say you care about the poor?
Then go and join them loser there's the door!
