Do something!!!
The grass is always greener
As far as you can see
but you always sit there whining
Why him and why not me?
A better job a better life
A better house and car
You know just what you have to do
If you're gonna get that far
If you want to make an omlette
You have to break an egg or two
You have to work to earn it
Not just sit there feeling blue
Nothing is a given
You rarely move on up by chance
You've got to get a handhold
Go grab life by the pants
Just sitting waiting idly
Never gets the job done well
You can not sit and listen
You have to ring that bell
If you want to make an omlette
You have to break an egg or two
You have to work to earn it
Not just sit there feeling blue
One who sits and wonders
Why someone else gets all the fame
Has never tried to leave the bench
And get into the game
Stay hungry, do your damndest
Do not strive for second place
But, if you don't move at the starters gun
You're not even in the race
If you want to make an omlette
You have to break an egg or two
You have to work to earn it
Not just sit there feeling blue
