|
I'm gonna write this in a book one day |
|
But for now this song will have to do |
|
It's about the lengths you and I were willing to go to |
|
To get some free food |
|
It was 1997 something I cant remember |
|
I'm bad with dates |
|
You and I were living in my van |
|
Everything that we had we had to take |
|
And the saddest song ever heard on the radio |
|
Was |
|
Let it snow let it snow let it snow |
|
Let it snow let it snow let it snow |
|
It said we have no place to go |
|
Let it snow let it snow let it snow |
|
We didn't have any place to go |
|
It snowed it snowed it snowed |
|
But wait |
|
Lets take it back a few years |
|
To the day were first met |
|
I moved to Bloomington to be a bum |
|
You were here on a full |
|
Mathematics scholarship |
|
I was from a small town |
|
You were from a small town |
|
We became the best of friends |
|
Where our story begins |
|
Is where our trouble begins |
|
I never had a dime to my name |
|
You liked playing games |
|
A local pizza place had a deal |
|
10 coupons got a free 12inch |
|
Well heres what we did |
|
You see the college kids |
|
They never cut the coupons out |
|
Wed dig through the trash and find them |
|
A few nights work put pizza in our mouths |
|
We started to wonder where the coupons went |
|
After people turned them in |
|
So we looked in their dumpster and what did we find |
|
We found 140 of them |
|
Sooner then later we started making our own |
|
When kinkos got the red copy machine |
|
One day they busted me |
|
The manager said "we don't take photocopies" |
|
So I jumped into the car |
|
Told the driver to drive |
|
As we sped off into the night we yelled |
|
Free Pizza For Life |
|
Free Pizza for Life |
|
Free Pizza For Life |
|
Free Pizza For Life |
|
A few years later you dropped outta school |
|
We both spent a few months in our home town |
|
We've both been down and out |
|
But we were doing our best to get back up now |
|
One night we were sleeping in my van |
|
It was fourteen degrees below |
|
I woke up because I heard something crack |
|
You said it was your foot frozen to the window |
|
Our desperation drove us to dishonesty |
|
We were criminals distinctive and vile |
|
Declared most of the world to be our enemy |
|
We stole checkbooks |
|
And credit cards |
|
Signed signatures that were not ours |
|
Slice after slice we ate |
|
Pizza every night |
|
We always shared it with our friends |
|
Gave the driver a mighty tip |
|
In our simple minds we had |
|
A slice of a paradise |
|
But I guess we took it a little too far |
|
Cause you ended up doing some time |
|
When they slammed the door to your cell |
|
I swear I heard you yell |
|
Free Pizza For Life |
|
Free Pizza For Life |
|
Free Pizza For Life |
|
Free Pizza For Life |
|
On the night that we bailed you out of jail |
|
It was 2 weeks later you looked scared and pale |
|
To celebrate setting you free |
|
We ordered some pizza |
|
And paid with forgery |
|
Cause when they knock you down |
|
You cant stay on the ground |
|
You gotta keep getting up |
|
You gotta keep putting your faith in luck |
|
And as we can clearly see |
|
That we made some mistakes |
|
For the most part I have no regrets |
|
At some parts I feel a little ashamed |
|
But it all worked out okay in the end |
|
And I think I would do it all over again |
|
Sorry your the one they caught |
|
I wish it coulda been me my friend |
|
I'm not saying we were wrong |
|
And I'm not saying we were right |
|
All I know is what we want |
|
