If you're too tired too eat the meat
Grow a backbone and stand on your owntwo feet

Doesnt' happen in a minute
Doesn't happen in an hour
Works like soaking in marinade
Longer it sits,
More flavor is added to the taste ofpower

Lips and a voice allow you to speak
Ears allow you to hear
Eyes allow you to see
You'd rather ignore these miraculousgifts
While you relax and drink a beer

You wake the next day
Disappointed that you've settled for ajob you hate
Get dressed, drive to work
Life is too short for this..common!
Why do you wait?

No wonder you keep yourself so wellgroomed
You've got nothing else to offer, youfeel doomed
That mentality wont get you down theblock
Take a sick day and learn to play withsidewalk chalk

Money isn't the root of all evil
It's greedy people that pay to keep from naughty deeds being revealed.
