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
be a mess.
Purchase her a
decent dress.
Happy to help them
live their life.
Help my daughter to
be a wife.
Son doesn't want the
honor of strife.
Must be lazy
I guess.

and automobiles.
Girls learn sewing

Men don't cry.
No more labor

The Brave and Free!
Eveyone else better
think like me,
And he better
not ask why!

Churches teach

Cops are laws.
No one said they
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!
