Grandmas Phrase About Work

If you don't go with the flow,
Then they will kick you,
Out the do'.
If you work like you get no pay,
No one to you will say Hey.

If you work at your job,
As if you work for the Lord,
Even when others make it hard
In front of them you'll get
A huge reward
And they'll look like retards.


So when you punch 
Your time card
Say thank You Lord
I could have been
Someone else.

When it's time for lunch
Say thank You Lord
Once more even if
Satan knocked at your do
Because he didn't munch
On your wealth.

Independence

Do it yourself, depend on no other;
No one's your slave, not brother nor mother.
Work out a plan, stand up a man;
Earn what you get and never forget
Depend is a vice,
Depend is not nice,
Depend is the source of downward course
To dark and empty night.
Independence is the only way of light.
Independence will flick your switch to bright.

If you'd be wholly free
Then self-sufficient be;
If you'd live unafraid
Then work and earn and trade;
If you'd not waste your time,
Then thinking is no crime;
If you'd not fall to fate,
Then make your reason great.

If you would top a hill,
If you would cross a stream,
Then climb with your own will
And build on your own scheme.

If you would lag at ease
Till all comes "somehow" true,
You're lying with the fleas
Till some cross dog bites you.

So, depend on no other, do it yourself;
Stand up a man and work out a plan;
Earn what you get---don't ever forget!
Then sing free, "Independence!"
