Biting Off More Than We Can Chew
i dont need much to get me by just a simple hello and goodbye
those words are meaning less to so many but mean so much
the smell of the flowers even the ones that arent bloomed
give a sensation of renewed hope
i always got by with little means because the more i had caused distress
living in a material world with material things brings tragedy
people want what they cant have and what they have they want more of
greed is their demise
jealousy is caused by an vicious heart tempted by ones battle with self
to want what we cant have is having what we want
those with none are happy with one
those with one want four
robberies mureders even rapes come from lust and disease
to part with it all and give to others we feel we are cheating ourselves
we are the ones who deserve the best so forget the others and move on
the others are our brothers and sisters mothers and fathers
TO WHOM OUR BLOOD LIES WITHEN
count each penny and stash it away but that wont follow us to HEAVEN
dirty money countless sins what will it take for you to give in
a kind word a hot meal maybe even a dollar or two
THAT MAN UNDER THE BRIDGE COULD ONE DAY BE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
