Born to work


Momma says there is no silver spoon for you.
Baby, you were born to work.  Get a job.
I served my country, the land of plenty.
Gone overseas, I had been deployed.
Seems to me my job is to take care of the poor.
Everyone around is still asking for more.

Some are so lucky born into money.
Some of them steal in the land of honey.
Here I am born to work.
No time for playing, freaking jerk.
Taxes and more taxes, IRS loves me.
I'm Begging you please, no more.

Have my own family, was always employed.
Pay the bills, did the right thing.
Ex's gone, she sold my ring.
The children crying, looking for food.
I paid you already. You, you're so rude.
Everyone around is still asking for more.

Some are so lucky born into money.
Some of them steal in the land of honey.
Here I am born to work.
No time for playing, freaking jerk.
Taxes and more taxes, IRS Loves me.
I'm Begging you please, no more.

Born to work, feed the poor.
They stood around looking for free.
Days are numbered, nothing left for me.
See them scrambling for change on the floor
Everyone around is still asking for more.
