Something For Nothing Lyrics

Cover art for Something For Nothing lyrics by Rush

I must add that I like the wordplay in this song. From wind and clouds to rainbow and (pot of) gold. From call to answer to answer of questions. From sleep to dreams. The words kingdom, power, glory, and story all fit well together. And yes, I can read into it an Ayn Rand influence and Objectivism, but I prefer the simpler and more direct take - don't sit around and wait for the world to come to you and solve your problems, go out and solve your own problems. Don't wait for someone to give you what you think you deserve, rather go out and earn it (what you want) or take it (opportunities). It is certainly a message that I need to hear from time to time, that I think we can all use being reminded of.
