Ain't No Free

A girl downtown said she wanted to roll
took her by the hand and then she said "hold on, you got to pay, ya know what I mean?"
She said "you might get somethin', but there ain't no free."

A big boy said "hey, look at this!" and then the next thing you knew, well he had three kids.
He had to pay, you know what I mean?
The boy got somethin', but there ain't no free.

Well it might be credit, it might be barter,
but they find a way to make you pay, pay, pay.

And another boy said "I believe this is best."
Saw him at the clinic, they was runnin' some tests.
He had to pay, you know what I mean?
Well, the boy got somethin', but there ain't no free.

Well it might be credit, it might be barter,
but they always find a way to make you pay, pay, pay.

You know a man don't crawl down in a hole
If he don't pay cash, it's a piece of his soul,
He got to pay, well you know what I mean?
Ya might get somethin', but there ain't no free.

There ain't no free (repeat to end)
