I don't like work... but I like what is in work -- the chance to find
yourself. Your own reality -- for yourself, not for others -- which no other man can ever know.

-- Joseph Conrad

ARTIST: Dire Straits
TITLE: Money for Nothing
Lyrics and Chords


[Capo 3]

I want my, I want my MTV
I want my, I want my MTV

/ Em7 - - A / /

Now look at them yo-yo's, that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on that MTV
That ain't workin', that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and your chicks for free
Now that ain't workin', that's the way you do it
Lemme tell ya, them guys ain't dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb

/ Em7 - - - / - - G A / :

{Refrain}
We got to install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators
We got to move these color TV's

/ C - G - / C - D - / Em7 - - - / A - B - C# - - - /

The little faggot with the earring and the makeup
Yeah, buddy, that's his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot he's a millionaire

{Refrain}

I shoulda learned to play the guitar
I shoulda learned to play them drums
Look at that mama, she got it stickin' in the camera
Man we could have some
And he's up there, what's that, Hawaiian noises
Bangin' on the bongos like a chimpanzee
Oh, that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Get your money for nothin' get your chicks for free

{Refrain}

Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on that MTV
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and your chicks for free

Money for nothin' and chicks for free
I want my, I want my, I want my MTV
{Repeat, ad lib to fade}

wow, i never knew the lyrics, but now that i see them, dire straits were pretty edgy back in the day.
I just leaned the other day some of the lyrics on Grease and was suprised.

Greased Lightning

Why this car is automatic
It's systematic
It's hydromatic
Why it's grease lightning (Grease lightning)

We'll get some overhead lifters and some four barrel quads
oh yeah
(Keep talking whoa keep talking)
A fuel injection cutoff and chrome plated rods oh yeah
(I'll get the money I'll kill to get the money)
With a four speed on the floor they'll be waiting at the door
You know that ain't no shit we'll be getting lots of tit
In Grease Lightning
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go

Go grease lightning you're burning up the quarter mile
(Grease lightning go grease lightning)
Go grease lightning you're coasting through the heat lap trial
You are supreme the chicks'll cream for grease lightning
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go

Purple french tail lights and thirty inch fins
oh yeah
A Palomino dashboard and duel muffler twins
oh yeah
With new pistons, plugs, and shocks I can get off my rocks
You know that I ain't bragging she's a real pussy wagon
Grease lightning

Go grease lightning you're burning up the quarter mile
(Grease lightning go grease lightning)
Go grease lighting you're coasting through the heat lap trial
You are supreme the chicks'll cream for grease lightning
Go grease lightning you're burning up the quarter mile
(Grease lightning go grease lightning)
Go grease lighting you're coasting through the hit lap trial
You are supreme the chicks'll cream for grease lightning
Lightning, lightning, lightning
Lightning, lightning, lightning
Lightning

Oh yeah...I always enjoyed singing Greased Lightning. Sans the dance. Ok, maybe I did know it.

Generally speaking, the happiest people in the working world have found a way to turn their hobby into a paying gig.

Only thing that would scare me away is that with a hobby turning into a job you might not like it as a hobby any longer.

I love boning but I have no aspirations to become a porn star. Then again cigars or woodworking might be a like comparing apples to fake melons. :laugh:
