MONEY FOR NOTHIN’--SRS VERSION A parody of the Dires Straits song by Melanie Knight, Glenn Carroll, and Leslie Minerd performed by Melanie Knight at the Bombplex forum, November 9th, 2006 (with back-up vocals by Glenn)

I WANT MY,
I WANT MY,
I WANT MY NPT!

NOW LOOK AT THEM BOMB BOYS
THAT’S THE WAY YOU DO IT
YOU MOVE THE WASTE AROUND THE DOE
THAT AIN’T WORKIN’, THAT’S THE WAY YOU DO IT
MONEY FOR NOTHIN’ AND CHICKS FOR FREE

NAH, THAT AIN’T WORKIN’, THAT’S THE WAY YOU DO IT
LET ME TELL YOU THIS IDEA’S DUMB
MAYBE GET A TUMOUR ON YOUR LITTLE BRAIN
MAYBE GET A TUMOUR ON YOUR TONGUE

THEY WANT TO INSTALL ATOM BOMB FACTORIES
TOXIC WASTE DUMPS FOR YOU AND ME
THEY GOTTA MOVE THEIR PLU-TO-NI-UM PITS
THEY GOTTA PAY FOR THEIR PLASMA TV’S

SEE THE GIANT CONTRACTOR WITH HIS MITT IN THE TILL?
YEAH, BUDDY, THAT’S CORPORATE WELFARE
THAT LITTLE LIAR GOT HIS OWN JET AIRPLANE
THAT LITTLE THIEF, HE’S A TRILLIONAIRE

WE HAVE TO LIVE ON THE DREGS THAT THEY LEAVE US
THEY’VE GOT US... DOWN ON OUR KNEES
WE GOTTA FEED AND EDUCATE OUR KIDS
WE GOTTA PAY FOR *THEIR* PLASMA TV”S

I SHOULDA LEARNED TO BE OBLIVIOUS
I SHOULDA LEARNED TO NOT GIVE A SHEET
LOOK AT THAT MAMA, CAN’T FEED HER BABY
WHILE YOU SUCKIN’ ON TAXPAYER TEET

AND YOU UP THERE, WHAT’S THAT?
MORE ATOM BOMBS?
STEALIN’ ALL OUR MONEY LIKE A LOW-DOWN THIEF
THAT AIN’T WORKIN’, THAT’S THE WAY YOU DO IT
GET YOUR MONEY FOR NOTHIN’ AND GETTIN’ OFF SCOT-FREE

WE GOTTA GIVE ALL OUR TAXES FOR THIS CRAP
WE AIN’T MEETIN’ OUR HUMAN NEEDS
WE GOTTA EAT THEIR NUCLEAR WASTE
WE GOTTA PAY FOR THEIR PLASMA TV’S

THIS AIN’T WORKIN’, NOT THE WAY THEY DO IT
ALL THEY’RE MAKIN’ IS ENEMIES
THIS AIN’T WORKIN’, NOT THE WAY THEY DO IT
THEY’RE GETTIN’ THEIR MONEY FOR NOTHIN’ AND GETTIN’ OFF SCOT-FREE

WHAT ON EARTH ARE THEY TALKIN’ ABOUT?
THAT SHELF LIFE AIN’T ABOUT TO EXPIRE
15 YEARS AND TANKS LEAKIN’ FASTER
RESTARTING THE ARMS RACE, IN DEBT WE’LL MIRE

YOU GOTTA SPEAK UP FOR THE ECONOMY AND WORKERS
BUT YOU GOTTA CARE ABOUT SAFETY AND HEALTH
GIVE THE NEXT GENERATION AN OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE
YOU DON’T NEED TO GIVE CEO’S MORE WEALTH

I WANT MY,
I WANT MY,
I WANT MY NPT!
