Countz © July, 2008</span><br /><br />These days everyone’s surfin’ on the internet<br />Who has time to fix the car or paint the fence?<br />We’re giving all the hard jobs to the Orient<br />No need to be so tense, it don’t make no sense<br /><br />We complain that aliens are takin’ all our jobs<br />Yet we refuse to do work we consider below us<br />If I was a bettin’ man I’d bet against the odds<br />If we were paid by the job, we’d be the slowest<br /><br />We’ve been through tough times before<br />We did what we knew had to be done<br />We washed dishes or mopped the floor<br />A little hard work never hurt no one<br /><br />Today we moan and complain about the high cost of gas<br />We can’t pay our mortgage but we won’t mow our grass<br />I’ve got a tough question I’ve been dyin to ask________<br />When will we stop bellyachin’ and start facin’ the facts<br /><br />We can’t fix what’s ailing us with another bond or tax<br />We need to worry less about bombs and terrorist attacks<br />And focus on moms and dads fightin’ like dogs and cats<br />We have to stop actin’ like a bunch of spoiled brats<br /><br />Or will we keep looking for answers in a keg or a flask?<br />When will we take off our gloves and remove our mask?<br />This looming downswing may soon be a thing of the past<br /> If we’ll just roll up our sleeves and face the task at hand<br /><br />If you ask the right questions, you’ll soon understand<br />It may not be quite as easy as at first we had planned<br />So let’s roll up our sleeves and face the task at hand<br />Ask and you shall receive and He will heal our land<br /><br />You may think I’m a little bit sick or nutty<br />But don’t blink ‘cuz I’m a real quick study<br />I’ve been stinkin’ dirty and I been muddy<br />But a little hard work never hurt nobody<br /><br />We’ve been through tough times before<br />We did what we knew had to be done<br />We washed dishes or mopped the floor<br />A little hard work never hurt no one<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5542363770605940949-6360987699317253068?l=missinmemissinyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stan the Manhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16809934505977609753noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5542363770605940949.post-63433676057739234452008-07-02T22:56:00.000-07:002008-07-05T00:18:57.485-07:00<span style="font-style:italic;">by Stan C. Countz</span><br /><br />Recently, I caught you humming <br />a catchy little ditty while you were shaving<br />You used to call me "stunning" <br />and "witty" but to me you were sure amazing<br /><br />It seems to me you're running <br />to the city and my dreams are quickly fading<br />The truth may not be pretty <br />But I’m sick of all this wondering and waiting<br /><br />I’m beginning to piece together why<br />You seem so tired every night<br />I think I finally see the light <br />It's time to give you the boot<br /><br />Or have you been getting it somewhere else?<br />Or maybe you’re taking care of it yourself?<br />Either way, for the sake of my mental health<br />I need to know the truth…<br /><br />You gotta be gettin' it somewhere else<br />I don't think it's comin' free<br />Or maybe you’re takin’ care of yourself<br />But who’s takin’ care of me?<br /><br />I was just too blind to see<br />It was right before my eyes<br />Didn't seem happy to see me<br />I'm tired of all your lies<br /><br />I was thinkin' you were missin' me<br />Wishin’ you were kissin’ me <br />I could see all the signs<br />But I was just too blind to see<br /><br />You were doin' good for yourself<br />But you put me on the back shelf<br />You were takin' care of yourself<br />But who's takin' care of me?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5542363770605940949-6343367605773923445?l=missinmemissinyou.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stan the Manhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16809934505977609753noreply@blogger.com0
