Joni Mitchell lyrics : "The Windfall (Everything For Nothing)"

Because Elvis gave 'em cars
You think I'm cheap
And you're hard done by

Look-you live here like a star
Rent free suite
Big blue pool that you sun by

Trips to tropic shores
Clothes from fancy stores
You want too much

You want too badly
You want everything for nothing


Going to the church
You chant
For my downfall

Chanting for my house
My friends
You want it all

The pillows on my bed
The visions in my head
You want too much

You want too badly
You want everything for nothing


In the land of litigation
The courts are like game shows
Take what's behind the curtain

The jury cries
I'm not going to be the jackpot
At the end of your perjured rainbow

Not if local justice has even one good eye

Oh it's not like I was blind

I saw
But I took no action
As you began to climb

Green clawed
Dissatisfaction
It wasn't hard to guess

That the end would be a mess
You want too much
You want too badly

You want everything for nothing

In the land of mass frustration

The judges are sleeping
Counting wooly little lawyers
And grinding their teeth

Outside my sleepless window
The Hollywood sirens are shrieking
While down some searchlit alley runs

Some lost belief

Oh I'm tangled in your lies

Your scam
Your spider web
Spit spun between the trees

Doors slam
You want my head
You'd eat your young alive

For a jaguar in the drive
You lie too much
You lie too badly

You want everything for nothing
