God Will Get You For That
You talk behind your neighbor's back,
And say things most unkind.
It seems someone who won't do that,
These days is hard to find.
You re-tell things you promised not,
To let any others know;
But if you think it'll serve you well,
You'll tell all that you know.
You bite the hand reached out to you,
In friendship and in trust,
To be accepted by the ones,
You know to be unjust.
The ones who wield the power,
Can be used just like a tool;
For it's well known that in this world,
We bow to majority rule.
So what if you've betrayed a friend?
So what if you have hurt them?
So what if you have caused them harm,
By saying things about them?
You must look out for number one.
Yourself is first and foremost.
It matters not you've hurt a friend,
Because you're self engrossed.
You'll find a way to make the grade,
And be one of the crowd.
If you must step on a bug or two,
The pop won't be too loud.
But your new friends will step on you,
If they find that it serves them.
What goes around will come around,
And sin begets more sin.
Eventually it all comes back.
What you sow you reap.
Friends like you I just don't need.
For you I'll lose no sleep.
