A Pack Of Lies

That from hard work and endeavour up the social rank you will rise To me anyhow does seem a pack of lies 'Tis just an old cliche that and nothing more That some like to quote and we have heard before. Even in so called prosperous Countries today Some of the hardest working people work for survival pay Many honest and willing workers living in poverty Life for them seems unfair that's how 'twould seem to me. Many of who on the theory of hard work believe Say if you do not work hard from life you cannot receive Yet many of the billionaires of mining and property development and oil Have never experienced the hardship of toil. Just an antiquated cliche it does seem indeed That those who work hardest in life do succeed The underpaid workers create many a billionaire For millions around the World life does seem unfair. I know of an old bloke who has worked hard in his working life And he struggled for to pay for the funeral of his wife Just one more poor hard worker his type are everywhere There are millions of them in the big World out there.
