Working Together
People like to take the credit and assign all the blame
It really is a selfish way to go about playing the game
Everyone embellishes their input when the praise is poured
But when things stumble and others grumble their contributions they ignore
If we focused our attention on the task at hand
Having one single goal that everyone can understand
Efficiently and effectively contribute what we can
That would make, it seems to me, a much better plan
Knowing that the job’s done well deep down in your heart
Not letting egos and one-upmanship tear the team apart
Share the credit, knowing well, there’s plenty to go around
Is the quickest way to success is the lesson that I found
So if you are one of those folks that need credit for the work
Worried more about rewards and the newest company perk
I respectfully ask you please not to apply for this position
Because we’re a team and that means a united composition
