Loyalty
bought with the cheque book,
Reality is,
so few care and give a **** about loyalty
unless you're the man with
the cash in his hand
and think
you've got it all planned but
plans fall apart as the cash dwindles away along
with the dreams of the people who creamed off the top,
you say,
' that you bought them,lock, stock,contracts carved into rock'
but you can't buy a loyalty card prepaid,you can't put a lock on
the aspirations of men,cannot parade them as your yea, yea, amen,
you know it too
and the reality is,
Loyalty is earned
burned into the hearts of the women and men who were with you back then and are with you today,
are you with them?
