You don’t get that for free Another year is old Christmas coming soon Asteroid shaped like a skull Plays chicken with the moon The forest is in flames again Smoke blocks out the sun Another schoolkid looking down The barrel of a gun My diesel isn’t green no more I guess I was naïve But I love my creature comforts I love my big TV You don’t get that for free No you don’t get that for free Do you take me for a fool, my son? You don’t get that for free They know what you’ve been buying They know who you have phoned They know the things you like to look at When you are alone Populations on the move Borders will be sealed The secret’s in the envelope Soon will be revealed Everything will kill you If you only give it time Everything I have is yours And yours will soon be mine You don’t get that for free No you don’t get that for free Do you take me for a fool, my son? You don’t get that for free

Keep up the good work guys! We are Rob Meulman and Anne-Marie Bovenkamp from The Netherlands. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1gsdNLE7_Gy8qavoOplQow/videos http://rnam.net/

The guitars at the end after the acoustic lead in were pretty much done together one after the other as a guide to go back and do a "proper" solo but I ended up liking them. If one is out both are - going for the sloppy 70's rock sound!

On my speakers, the vocal seems buried in reverb, which is too bad, because the lyrics are quite good. -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

I liked the song, and loved the lyrics, maybe the vocals sat back in the mix a little too much. A little less reverb and a little more lift would maybe give the song a new presence. Overall, great write and delivery. Very enjoyable.
