No, Thank You - Don Henley

These are hard times we’re living in

Nobody cuts you any slack

We got Space Age machinery, Stone Age emotions

Today a man had better watch his back

Everybody’s selling somethin', the baron and the bumpkin

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 smellin' a rat

Don’t tell me what you’re gonna do for me

'Cause I’ve been there done that

Lady Luck’s been good to me

I’m as grateful as can be

Never thought this crazy ride would ever last

And 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 a rut

Workin' 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 what you’re tryin' to do for me

But I’ve been there, done that

B.S.

blaring from the radio, the TV

Hot wind blowin' off The Hill

It’s a mystery to me we can’t agree to disagree

It’s lookin' like we never, ever will

Like a drunkard in the night, swingin' left and swingin' right

Republican or Democrat

Well, I ain’t got no love for none of the above

cause I’ve been there, done that

No, thank you

I don’t think so

It’s a little too pat

Don’t tell me to take it easy

'Cause I’ve been there, done that

No. thank you

I don’t think so

There’s nothin' under your hat

No, I won’t be in your movie

'Cause I’ve been there, done that

I’ve been there, done that

I’ve been there.

done that

I’ve been there, done that
