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
