If becoming rich is your thing,
Without having to talk to a sibling,
And you don't know how to set up a sting,
Or for your supper to sing,
And are fresh out of ideas,
Since with the bank you are in arrears,
I can allay all your fears,
Before you shed too many tears,
And tell you how to get rich quick if you care to open your ears,
To hear, what smart people have known for years,
That if you want to get rich without spending years picking pears,
Or fighting off bears,
And have little respect for your pears,
Then stealing their ideas,
Will keep you in funds for years,
If you fail to produce any real tears.
There are things I know nothing about,
That you should be talking to me about,
Next time you see me out and about.
I have plenty of ideas about,
Things I know nothing about,
That you might like to think about.
When you are fresh out of ideas on subjects you know everything about,
It might be time to take a walk about,
To find someone who has subjects they know nothing about,
And you just might find out what life is all about.
There's two knights laid out before me.
I've got two knives coming up behind me.
When I stand up and belt out a warning.
These blades will show me no mercy.
I'm fresh out of ideas.
How can I master you?
I haven't got a clue.
How can you blame me?
There's no mercy.
No remorse.
No matter what you do.
Open up this bloody heart I hold in my hand.
Give me time and I'll show you my insides.
It's one less bone to chill my intestines.
Open up this bloody heart and take a look.
I'm piercing my eyes.
Open up this bloody heart and take a look.
I'm losing my mind.
Open up this bloody heart and take a look.
I've lost all my lives.
If you are fresh out of ideas,
You may need to freshen up the ones you have,
Throw out the ones past their use by date,
Listen to what comes out of the mouths of babes,
And don't discount all of those that come out of an old hat.
There may be no I in Team,
But there is one in Co-operation and another in Ideas.
A team without Co-operation and fresh out of Ideas may
Soon be beat.
There may be no L in in Team,
But a Leader sure has one.
A Team without a leader will be hard pressed to stay
Together.
There may be no O in Team,
But options has one.
A team without options may not be around
For long.
There may be no D in Team,
But there is in Direction.
A team without Direction, will not find it easy
To stay focussed.
There may be no P in team,
But Purpose is not lacking one.
A Team without purpose,
May not be of much use.
A team without any Co-operation and out of Ideas,
Leaderless, without Options
And lacking both Direction and Purpose,
Doesn't spell success to me.
Whenever you're down and out,
or, feeling Blue
At your Wit's end, from not having
a clue
And, you're fresh out of ideas, on
what to do
Aside from having of Patience, but
a few
Remember that God Will See You
Through
