Nothing Shall Be Given

Lyrics by Fran Landesman
Nothing shall be given to the needy
The needy and the greedy shall be lost
As long as you don’t need it you can have it
Don’t add it up or think about the cost

Don’t think that someone’s out there who can fix it
A lover who will cover every need
Everyone will shun you when you’re hungry
‘Cause no one wants a friend they have to feed

I know how to show you the way
Though I’m just as hopeless as you
So try hard to do what I say
But don’t ever do as I do

Anyone who’s looking for a handout
Will find that life is biased toward the strong
And even when they get it they can’t hold it
‘Cause nothing ever lasts for very long
And that includes this dull depressing song
