Work
As
I lay here in my bed,
Lots
of things run through my head.
Like
a job that I really don't want to go to.
Maybe
I can pretend that I have the flu.
The
way I am though, I'll get up.
Then
go to work dragging my tail like a pup.
There
are so many things I'd rather do,
Like
staying at home and doing whatever I want to.
I've
been working now around 30 years.
Sometimes
I feel like I need a few beers,
To
be able to hang in there when things get rough,
And
to be able to tell them all, whoa, that's enough.
I've
taken about all that I can take,
When
I'd really rather be sitting at the lake.
Enjoying
the wildlife and the view,
Maybe
even spending time with my daughter and son, too.
For
all the back stabbing and oneryness gets to be too much.
There
are things like kindness, thoughtfulness and such.
If
everyone just tried not to feel like they're #1.
We'd
all have a lot more cooperation and get more work done.
Why
is it that someone always has to feel more important than you?
Their
work is no more important than what you do.
For
everyone together has to get it all done.
Working
with thoughtfulness and kindness can make it all more fun.
It's
all of us working together that gets the job done.
We
are to show everyone how life can be fun.
If
we all work together and help each other,
And
treat everyone how we'd treat our brother.
