(Mark Erelli) 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
