[Verse 1]
\nTime is of the essence
\nOur very presence
\nFriedman and man’s destiny
\nSee in our economy<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nTo the knows:
\n(Punch)
\nOut to lunch
\nBrain’s insane
\nNo logic (gone lame)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nOh, no (oh no, no, no)
\nNo such thing… as a free lunch
\nOh, no (oh no, no, no)
\nAll costs at a loss (-lost.)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nOh, no (oh no, no, no)
\nNo such thing… as a free lunch
\nOh, no (oh no, no, no)
\nAll costs at a loss (-lost.)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nOh, no (oh no, no, no)
\nNo such thing… as a free lunch
\nOh, no (oh no, no, no)
\nAll costs at a loss (-lost.)<\/p>\n

\nTo the knows:

\nOut to lunch<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nBrain’s insane
\nNo logic (gone lame)<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SONG
\nMilton Friedman famously stated, “There is no such thing as a free lunch.” This phrase encapsulates the fundamental economic principle that every decision and action has a cost, even when it seems like something is being offered for free. This cost is often an opportunity cost, meaning the value of the next best alternative that is forgone when a choice is made… or not made. Time is of the essence.<\/p>\n
