Joni Mitchell — The Windfall Everything for Nothing

[Intro] So you think I should buy you a car? Why, because Elvis did? Darlin' come on [Verse 1] Because Elvis gave 'em cars, you think I'm cheap And you're hard done by Look, you live here like a star, rent-free suite Big blue pool that you sun by [Pre-Chorus] Trips to tropic shores Clothes from fancy stores You want too much, you want too badly You want everything for nothing [Verse 2] Going to the church You chant for my downfall Chanting for my house, my friends You want it all [Pre-Chorus 2] The pillows on my bed The visions in my head You want too much, you want too badly You want everything for nothing [Chorus 1] In the land of litigation The courts are like game shows Take what's behind the curtain, the jury cries I'm not going to be the jackpot At the end of your perjured rainbow Not if local justice has even one good eye [Verse 3] Oh it's not like I was blind, I saw But I took no action As you began to climb, green-clawed Dissatisfaction [Pre-Chorus 3] It wasn't hard to guess That the end would be a mess You want too much, you want too badly You want everything for nothing [Chorus 2] In the land of mass frustration The judges are sleeping Counting wooly little lawyers and grinding their teeth Outside my sleepless window The Hollywood sirens are shrieking While down some search-lit alley runs some lost belief [Verse 4] Oh I'm tangled in your lies, your scam Your spider web Spit spun between the trees, doors slam You want my head [Pre-Chorus 4] You'd eat your young alive For a Jaguar in the drive You lie too much, you lie too badly You want everything for nothing
