Get off the Pot
Wake the hell up
Don’t you get it?
This life we have
We have it for only a minute
To make the best of it is
Our duty
So why can’t you get it through your
Head to put more effort into it
You get from life what
You put in it
Don’t put anything in it
You get nothing out of it
Where is your spirit?
Why can’t you fight?
This is war and you’re a soldier of life
Get off the damn pot and throw
The pi** out the window
Stand up and be counted
Before you’re counted out
Damn am I getting through to you?
I’m not here to coddle or
Take away your manhood
I’m trying to awaken that
Sleepy desire to succeed
And be a something more
Than another good for nothing
What I’m saying is out of love
Not anger
I always believed you had more
Audacity
Ok I’m sorry if I’m coming off
Too strong
I only wanted to awaken the fight
In you to survive
Forgive me if I’ve been harsh
Who else can tell you these things?
Only someone who cares enough
To be up front
After all it is your life
And you make of it
What you will
My only wish is that
You stop hiding behind
The word failure, you’re not
And cursing your birth
Take hold of what God has given
You, intelligence
The right to be free
To express you mind
Thoughts, opinions
Get off the pot
Throw the pi** out the
Window
