Analysis of For a fee
For a fee, you can be
Anything, you want to be
For a fee, you can see
What you wanna see
For a fee, you can be free
For a fee, you can own
Without a note or a loan
For a fee, you can have
Whats all the rage
For a fee, you can skip living in a cage
For a fee, that felony you face
Will get lost or misplaced
For a fee, you can buy a job
And be a leaderless slob
For a fee, you can buy that ride
To make strangers jealous and snicker on the side
For a fee, you can have it all
Live the good life and have a ball
For a fee, life can be bought
But without that fee
You’re not worth a thought
For me, I wish to be free of the fee
Because as you can see
It’s not worth being sought
Eric (and sometimes not)
