What's In It For Me? - Hoodoo Gurus

What’s in it for me?

You don’t get nothing for free

You stand and shake your tin

It gets under my skin

I might see what I can do

In another year or two

Let me see: what’s in it for me?

'Cause you don’t — don’t get nothing free

Can you stop?

you keep after me

But I’m not — not a charity

Now you’re back again

Just like a long-lost friend

With your sorry tale of woe

But no one wants to know

Just give us a rest

You’re making me depressed

Gotta run, I’m a busy man

And I’ve done everything I can

But you keep stickin' out your hand

Pardon me, you’re in Disneyland

And I know you’ll think it’s strange

You, I know you’ll think it’s strange

But I don’t have any change

So no change

I’ll tell you for free

Don’t waste your breath on me

I’ve heard it all before

Philanthropy’s a bore

Charity

What’s in it for me?
