Work and Play

Show me how Show me why Why we play Why we work Work all day Work to pay Pay the bills Pay the way Way to live Way to be Be the strong Be the best Best of them Best of all All the while All the time Time to go Time to stop Stop and look Stop and start Start your car Start your shift Shift your need Shift your want Want for more Want for better Better to love Better to live Live for bad times Live for good times Good times in bed Good times ahead Ahead of the pack Ahead of the game Game face on Game face gone Gone are the months Gone are the years Years spent learning Years spent growing Growing into shoes Growing into Roles Roles of a parent Roles of a friend Friend sometimes shortly Friend sometimes forever Forever was the work Forever want to play People want to play To do, there’s always work
