   2.
Years of toil,
  Enduring lack.
A good-investment
  Cadillac™.
Frozen processed
  food and drink.
Pay a woman to
  clean the sink.
Poison spray to
  kill the bugs.
Two machines to
  clean the rugs.
Why do the kids want
  to look like thugs?
They don't know
  how to think!
   3.
Try to show
  how much I care.
Pay my son to
  cut his hair.
Don't let daughter

Happy to help them
  live their life.
Help my daughter to

  think like me,
And he better
  not ask why!

  don't have flaws.
But the came's back
  holds plenty of
     straws and
Eb       F       Gm
God will get the fool.
God will get the fool.
Eb       F       G
God will get the fool!
