Tough Times

Aaaargh 

It's been a tough month for me
The business spiralling
And workers on my toes
It feels like there's nothing I'm doing right 

Cause now it's a boss and his workers
While what we had was a family
We were so close that we'd iron things out
Now it's not peaceful talks, it's protests and lawsuits 

And I've not been one for the media
Especially now since I'm in it for wrong reasons
I'm but a Gypsie man trying to be smart
Cause we can't all be sly behind card tricks 

I've been on rough patches before
Where I'd hurt but I had someone with me
Now I have no one by my corner
Cause everyone sees me as the enemy 

They forget its hard to be at the top 
It's even more hard to make decisions
Cause some decisions are things I just have to do
For it's in the best interest of the company 

For they still got to be paid
And they need extra wages
So forgive me if I'm strict on the work
Cause I pay for effort ?? 
I can't just let everyone have what they ask for
