Why Can't I Find a List of Zip Codes, Cities, and States?

I am working on a demo, and one of the things I dreamed up involves looking up cities based on a zip code, or zip codes based on a state. 

I can't find the data. 

Anyone know of a place where I can download a list of city, state, and zip codes?  Preferably for all 50 states, but even individual state data would be useful.

    Not exactly what you asked for... but kind of close?

    The USPS has an POX like API that looks free to use...

    http://www.usps.com/webtools/address.htm

    ZIP Code™ Lookup
    Find matching ZIP Codes or ZIP+4 Code for any given address, city, and state in the U.S.  

    City/State Lookup
    Get accurate city and state information when you only have the ZIP Code.

    Why is it that you feel the USPS zip code database is "... something that they should provide for free on their web site?"
