Don Henley No, Thank You song lyrics
Don Henley No, Thank You song lyrics
Well, these are
Hard times we're livin' in.
Nobody cuts you any slack.
We've got
Space Age machinery,
Stone Age emotions.
Today, a man had better watch his back.
Everybody selling something.
The parrot and the pumpkin.
A man has got to fight for what is his.
If what they're offering to you
Looks too good to be true,
You can bet your bottom dollar that it is
No, thank you.
I don't think so.
I think I'm smelling a rat.
Don't tell me
whatcha gonna do for me
'Cuz I've been there
And done that
Lady luck's been good to me.
I'm as grateful as can be.
Never thought this pleasure ride would ever last
Though nostalgia is fine
I respectfully decline
To spend my future living in the past
I've been carrying my load
Down this same old rocky road.
Every day I'm getting deeper in the rut
Working overtime,
Now a dollar's worth a dime
And everybody wants a bigger cut
No, thank you
I don't think so
You must think I'm blind as a bat
I sure appreciate
Whatcha trying to do for me
But I've been there
And done that
BS blaring from the radio, the TV
Hot wind blowing off The Hill
It's a mystery to me
We can't agree to disagree
It's looking like we never ever will
Like a drunkard in the night
Swinging left and swinging right
Republican or Democrat
But I ain't got no love
For none of the above
‘Cuz I've been there
And done that
No, thank you
I don't think so
It's a little too pat
Don't tell me
To take it easy
‘Cuz I've been there
And done that
No, thank you.
I don't think so.
There's nothing under your hat
No, I won't be
In your movie
‘Cuz I've been there
And done that
‘Cuz I've been there
And done that
I've been there
And done that
