You Can'T Put Thanks In Your Pocket
You Can’t Put Thanks in Your Pocket
Call yourself a friend?
Call yourself a pal?
It’s not what I call you
Ungrateful, selfish
Good adjectives for you
They’re free by the way
We know how much money
Means to you
Can’t put ‘thank you’
In your pocket, that’s
What you live by
Yet, I never got a
Thank you did I?
I was the butt of
The joke, wasn’t I
You assumed I won’t mind
You can roll over me
I tell you now
Earn as much as you can
But you’ll never buy
Dignity or honour
You’ll never have
Enough to give you
That.
You can put honour
And decency in your
Soul, even with empty
Pockets. Think on!
