And I could never get by that dropping dime Dinner's on the house It feels like I got that free pass to rides What is it all about? And I believe there's no such thing as free lunch But dinner's on the house It's hard to tell when all you've got is just a hunch What is it all about? Don't let it rouse No other routes Don't even grouse Are you a man or a mouse? When I look back upon my shoulder And see what I've been through...
