Gimme What You Got - Don Henley

Baby picks off your plate-yours looks better

And she throws hers on the floor

Here in the home of the brave

And the land of the free

The first word that baby learns is more

So you're out there floating like a big puffy cloud

With the pool and the charcoal

And the kids and the wife

Til the reruns of your dreams are interrupted

And you step out into life

And its still gimme gimme what you got

I said gimme gimme what you got

I said gimme gimme what you got

Gimme gimme what you got

Now its take and take and takeover takeover

Its all take and never give

All these trumped up towers

Theyre just golden showers

Where are people supposed to live

You can arm yourself alarm yourself

But theres nowhere you can run

Cause a man with a briefcase

Can still more money

Than any man with a gun

I said gimme gimme what you got

Said gimme gimme what you got

Said gimme gimme what you got

Gimme gimme what you got

You got the price of admission

You don't have to ask permission

To take somethin from another man

You cross a lawyer with the godfather baby

Make you an offer that you can't understand

From main street to wall street to washington

From men to women to men

Its a nation of noses pressed up against the glass

Theyve seen it on the tv

And they want it pretty fast

You spend your whole life

Just pilin it up there

You got stack and stacks and stacks

Then gabriel comes and taps you on the shoulder

But you don't see no hearses with luggage racks

Gimme gimme what you got

I said gimme gimme what you got

I said gimme gimme what you got

(I want it I want it)

Gimme gimme what you got
