Facetious attitude periodically eclipsed by heart-felt wonderings about the existential root
WHERE SAVAGES ROAM I'm threatened by the safety net and troubled by solutions to the problems of the world I tremble when the earth is calm and sleep under the rubble like a frightened feral animal Oh, but it's cold in the home where the savages roam Where the savages roam Aah, aah, aah ... The harshest winter yet All the horses have run crazy God has killed the internet The final course has been taken No, no, no No, no, no No, no, no Aah, aah, aah ...

Story behind the song
A tool-box man came over to the house to tune my 89-year old piano, and he got it precisely right but said he couldn't guarantee the strings holding longer than two weeks. I'm not sure why that's the story behind this song, but it is.
Lyrics
SOMETHING FOR NOTHING Something for nothing I give you my worries While I’m strumming and humming Rome’s burning, but why hurry? I lay my burdens on your shoulder And dance my life away While you grab hold And you take care of my troubles My struggles On the double Something for nothing You give me my freedom Gift borne of loving We make friends to need them I place my hands upon your shoulders And lean with all my weight While you stand firm And bear the strain with no trouble Something for nothing
