Holding On

                     
PRESSURES ARE HIGH AND LIFE IS SO TOUGH
AND TRYING HARD IS IS JUST NOT ENOUGH
YOU HAVE TO BE BEST NOT GIVE IT AWAY
REACH MAGIC TARGETS FOR THEM TO SAY

“WELL DONE MY LAD THAT’S WHAT WE NEED
ANOTHER THOUSAND WILL SATISFY GREED”

THE CUSTOMERS TRY TO GIVE YOU A SHARE
BUT IT’S SO HARD WHEN THE CUPBOARD IS BARE
THE THOUGHT OF ANOTHER DAY OUT IN THE CAR
PUSHING THE SALES – BUT HOW FAR?

“YOU’RE ONLY A SOWER,SOWING A SEED
THE SEED OF HAPPINESS.NURTURED BY GREED”

BY THE END OF THE WEEK YOU’RE STARTING TO DREAD
THE FINAL FIGURES WHICH BRING YOU THE BREAD
EVERY SO OFTEN YOU’LL BE SOMEWHERE NEAR
BUT THAT’S NOT ENOUGH TO STAY AROUND HERE

“I’M SORRY MY LAD BUT YOU DIDN’T TAKE HEED”
“END OF THE LINE” SAYS UNGRATEFUL GREED

WHEN YOU SPEND EVERY DAY TRYING SO HARD
YOU FORGET TO BEWARE AND STAY ON YOUR GUARD
YOU NO LONGER HAVE THAT FEELING OF TRUST
START FEELING THE WORLD IS COLD AND UNJUST

YOU GET TO THE POINT WHEN YOU NO LONGER NEED
THE WILL TO SLAVE FOR THE MASTER OF GREED
