Life

No one ever said it would be a magic carpet ride Or a home on Easy Street, with a white picket fence Eating with a silver spoon in your mouth, out if a golden bowl It is all what you make it, that is for you to decide Intelligence is fine, but use some common sense No matter how poor you are, never sell your soul No one will just give you respect, that you have to earn No matter how rich or famous, it is all the same price We all put our pants on the same, one leg at a time No matter how many times we go around, we all have to learn The only thing that is free, is bad advice Because those are the ones that will take you for your last dime It is not a Hollywood fantasy of going down "The Yellow Brick Road" Beware of those pulling the strings, that is behind the curtain Leave your pockets full of empty and a lot of adios Cause hey are there to lighten your load There is no guarantee and nothing is for certain It can be sweet, but sometimes life is a bitter dose All we can do, "is do our best" Rather it be inn the short comings or the long haul No one goes through life without making mistakes Cause life is just one big old test But it is not the same for all Life is a gamble and those are the stakes
