Did you think they'd part the seas for you like Moses
Did you think everything would come up roses
For every door they open
There's another door that closes
Did you think they'd part the seas for you like Moses

Did you think they'd give you everything you need
Did you think as you ask then so shall you receive
They'll let you roll the dice
But there ain't no guarantee
Did you think they'd give you everything you need

CHORUS
Nobody promised you a free ride kid
Put that fantasy out of your head
You're gonna have to work like your daddy did
Nobody promised you a free ride kid

Did you think they'd take you in with open arms
Boy, just how long have you been living on the farm
They'll want to see you bleed
But there's no need for alarm
Did you think they'd take you in with open arms

(CHORUS)

Did you think they weren't all vultures in disguise
Do you think you'll be safe if you follow their advice
Lord, I'd hate to be around
When they open up your eyes
Did you think they weren't all vultures in disguise

(CHORUS)
