Silver Platter — текст песни (Mark McGuinn)

(Mark McGuinn/Trey Mathews)

Everybody wants to make it up to Heaven
But they don`t want to die
Everybody wants seven or eleven
Without rollin` the dice
Just want somethin` for nothin`
Buy one, just to get one free
Or be the first to take someone`s lovin`
And not back anything

It don`t work that way
There`s a price you have to pay
It don`t work that way
You gotta step up to the plate
Can`t hit a home run
Without being the batter
You won`t find your gold
On a silver platter

Everybody wants to win the blue ribbon
Without running the race
Everybody wants to have a perfect body
Without lifting a weight
Rather make a million dollars
Not the old fashioned way
Spend a buck the pick six numbers
Now all I have to say

It don`t work that way
There`s a price you have to pay
It don`t work that way
You gotta step up to the plate
Can`t hit a home run
Without being the batter
You won`t find your gold
On a silver platter
