We always feel entitled in life That the world revolves around us To have everything with no strife The world bends to us, it must Except that is not our right We deserve is what we earn After we work and we fight This is what some don't learn They think life is their's to bend That they deserve strength and pride But without work it will be their end Fueled only by entitlement, they died Our only God given privilege Is the right to be happy To pursue that ambiguous image All else is earned ultimately The good life is ours to pursue No one allowed to stand in our way Earning our keep is hard, it's true But our right to life will never go away

Only Privilege
We always feel entitled in life That the world revolves around us To have everything with no strife The world bends to us, it must Except that is not our right We deserve is what we earn After we work and we fight This is what some don't learn They think life is their's to bend That they deserve strength and pride But without work it will be their end Fueled only by entitlement, they died Our only God given privilege Is the right to be happy To pursue that ambiguous image All else is earned ultimately The good life is ours to pursue No one allowed to stand in our way Earning our keep is hard, it's true But our right to life will never go away
