Simple Observation #17 - People who like to gamble take......
People who like to gamble take unnecessary risks with their time and money
and when they come out ahead feel as if they're in a land of milk and honey.

Easy Street
Ive had enough of forever being told what to say and do
Ive had enough
Ive had enough being always pushed around by the likes of you
Im making some plans of my own now
And you know what you can do
Im so tired
Tired of the man giving me such a hard, hard time
Im so tired
You make a man work so hard every day,
Dont you know its a crime
Always got to hit the deadline
When will I ever get some peace of mind
Ill find a girl thats rich and pretty
Ill get myself the key to the big city
Find a way to make some money
Move into the land of milk and honey
Everythings sweet and lifes a treat
Feel the heat on easy street
Im movin on
Movin on to a place that I see all the time in my dreams
Im movin on
Gone, gone, gone from the misery
Ive taken all that I can now
Gonna take my time on easy street
Ill find a girl thats rich and pretty
Get myself the key to the big city
Find a way to make some money
Move into the land of milk and honey
Everythings sweet and lifes a treat
Feel the heat on easy street
Ive found a girl thats rich and pretty
Got myself the key to the big city
Found a way to make some money
Moved into the land of milk and honey
Everythings sweet and lifes a treat
Feel the heat on easy street

Id Rather Be Rich
Id rather be rich, it sounds a little funny;
If diggin a ditch would earn me lots of money,
Id dig like a fool in the land of milk and honey;
Where everythings cool, provided you have money, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Id rather be rich, just short of being greedy;
Im eager to switch, to hell with being needy.
Id rather be rich, the truth of cash is tragic,
The systems a bitch, but money works like magic, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Money makes the world go round;
Buy and sell it by the pound;
Bitter truth that I have found:
Food to eat, shoes on your feet,
Maybe some heat, you live with defeat.
Bridge:
Money gets you justice, money sets you free,
Money makes it possible to be or not to be.
Money is the power, money is the key,
Sad and so unfortunate, but real as it can be, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Id rather be rich, than what the other choice is;
My thumb out to hitch, or riding in rolls royces;
cause I aint no fool in the land of milk and honey;
Where everythings cool until you lose your money.

Sonnet - Risks
Sometimes, the risks we take are colossal!
Just for the sake of some extra-money;
Sometimes, the risk is inevitable;
You have to face the Bees, to get honey.
There is a risk in things, all that we do;
To what extent to take is the question;
A man could die in a water-pool too!
There're risks to progress for any nation.
A risk to soul, no one should ever take;
No mortal sin is worth its weight in joy;
If sugar's burnt, it turns useless the cake;
On seeing land, the Captain cries, ' Ahoy! '
One's risks should not outweigh the sequelae;
Regain soul's purity, don’t you delay.

Honey … honey … I have money.
Enjoy the life is my only destiny.
Come on enjoy the life with me
Come on enjoy the life with me
Honey … honey … I have money.
Let’s go for a long-drive.
There, where is no tribe.
You me and the money
Let’s enjoy oh my Honey.
I have money … I have Brothers
I have money … I have Sisters
I have money … I have a Family
I have money … I have friends
I have money … So no relation ends
I have money … So worshiped daily
Honey … Honey … I have Money.
Enjoy the life is my only destiny.
Ask your daddy, ask your mummy.
Say, I am having enough money.
They will make you free.
As if they find a money tree.
Let me tell you I am also a human.
I am rich but not a superman.
I too have feelings and can’t stay alone.
All relations are fake you are true.
With you I feel the feeling of coffee BRU.
If doubt, ask to my mussel, Blood and Bone.
Honey … Honey … You are my money.
You are my path and you are my destiny.

Oh It Is Africa
Oh it is Africa
Oh Africa it is my mother land
land of milk and honey
land of natural beauty
Oh Africa land is where i live
Oh Africa is
A land blessed by God himself
On the day of creation
God threw diamond like stone
gold like rain
He dropped crude oil like rain
Oh Africa
land of milk and honey
Oh Africa
Guns and bombs, tears and mud
Luxury limos race through blood
But bound by debt to hopelessness

Money Honey
Well the landlord rang my front door bell
He let it ring for a long, long spell
Went to the window, peeked through the blind
Asked him to tell me what was on his mind
An' he said:
Money honey
Money honey
Money honey
If you want to stay up here with me.
I was screamin' green an so hard pressed
I called the woman that I love the best
Finally found my baby 'bout a quarter to three
She said "I wanna know what you want with me"
An I said:
Money honey (Just a little bit)
Money honey
Money honey
If you wanna git along with me.
Well she screamed and said
"What's wrong with you?
From this day on our romance is through."
I should tell my baby, face to face
How could another man take my place?
An she said:
Money honey (lots and lots of that)
Money honey (you got to give me some)
Money honey
If you wanna git along with me.
I learned my lesson and now I know
Sun may shine and the wind may blow
Women come and women may go
But before I'll tell em that I love em so.
I want
Money honey (Do you have some?)
Money honey
Money honey
If you wanna get along with me
Money honey, (Give me)
Money honey, (I need some)
Money honey, if you wanna get along with me.

Money Honey
(words & music by j. stone)
You know, the landlord rang my front door bell.
I let it ring for a long, long spell.
I went to the window,
I peeped through the blind,
And asked him to tell me whats on his mind.
He said,
Money, honey.
Money, honey.
Money, honey, if you want to get along with me.
Well, I screamed and I hollered,
I was so hard-pressed.
I called the woman that I loved the best.
I finally got my baby about half past three,
She said Id like to know what you want with me.
I said,
Money, honey.
Money, honey.
Money, honey,
If you want to get along with me.
Well, I said tell me baby, whats wrong with you?
From this day on our romance is through
I said, tell me baby, face to face
How could another man take my place?
She said,
Money, honey.
Money, honey.

If you want to get a long with me.

The women may come and the women may go,
But before I say I love you so,
I want
Money, honey.
Money, honey.

If you want to get along with me.

Leading To The Land
Address, dress;
Stress, less;
Take it,
Take this,
To share it among others!
The cup,
The same light,
Of this time span,
To serve you,
To be patience,
With your needs,
But, dress appropriately! !
To saddle the donkey,
To be by my monkey,
To have the key,
As a symbol upon your hand;
Work and money!
Butter and honey,
And, leading to the land that flows with milk and honey.

She Works Hard For The Money
She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right
She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right
Onetta there in the corner stand
and wonders where she is and
it's strange to her
some people seem to have everything
Nine a.m. on the hour hand
and she's waiting for the bell
and she's looking real pretty
just wait for her clientele
She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right
She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right
Twenty five years have
come and gone
and she' seen a lot of tears
of the ones who come in
they really seem to need her there
It's a sacrifice working day to day
for little money just tips for pay
But it's worth it all
just to hear them say that they care
She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right
She already knows
she's seen her bad times
she already knows
these are the good times
She'll never sell out
she never will
not for a dollar bill
she works hard
She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right
She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right
She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right

Milk And Honey
Welcome to the land of milk and honey
This is where your braves died to be free
Living in those days for love or money
Left your heart and soul at wounded knee
History and time are all you have now
You were free from sea to shining sea
But thats no matter to the folks who live here
You only ride your ponies on t.v.
Weve got everything youll ever need
Weve got everything youll ever need
eEverything youll ever need
America, America
America, America
All your pride was wasted aint that funny
You never tried to bite the feeding hand
Welcome to this land of milk and honey
Where they keep you fenced on burning sand
War dance for the customers on fridays
Birthrights up for sale in tourist stores
Carved your land and faces on your mountains
Crazy horse can never tie the score
Weve got everything youll ever need
Weve got everything youll ever need
Everything youll ever need
America, America
America, America
America, America
America, America

Milk & Toast & Honey
Milk and toast and honey make it sunny on a rainy saturday, he-he-hey
Milk and toast, some coffee take the stuffiness out of days you hate, you really hate
Slow morning news pass me by
I try not to analyze but didnt he blow my mind this time
Didnt he blow my mind?
(here he comes)
To bring a little lovin, honey
To take away the hurt inside
Is everything that matters to me
Is everything I want in life
Milk and toast and honey
Aint it funny how things sometimes look so clear and feel so near
The dreams I dream, my favourite wishful thinkin
Oh, hes bookmarked everywhere, everywhere
True love might fall from the sky
You never know what to find but didnt he blow my mind this time
Didnt he blow my mind?
(here he comes)
To bring a little lovin, honey
To take away the pain inside
Is everything that matters to me
Is everything I want from life
Oh lay a little lovin, honey
To feel youre gettin close to me
Is everything that matters to me
Is everywhere I wanna be

Gambling with Fate
will you take a seat
to gamble with fate
will you try your luck
to gamble with fate
you dont gamble with money
no you gamble with your life
death is the dealer
and fate is the player
but will you take a seat
to gamble with fate
if you do then
be prepared to lose
because fate never loses

IN Gold We Trust
IN Gold we Must Trust
Eveything is about money
Money Honey Money
Eveything we can buy
Big nice house
Education and wonderful cars
Money is our loyal friend
when we need it
it never disappoint us
Honey Money
sweet like a fantasy
even people we buy with money
have the best medical treatments
judges and politicians
If i had a lot of Money
even if my face is sour
everyone will smile at me
Anyone will love me
and respect me
Nice women with money
Money bring a lot of money
even we can buy an airplane and fly alone
none bother us in everyday trafic
with money i don't have to get up early
i don't have to feel stress because of boss mood
with money i feel happy
but i regret didn't keep the love of money when i was child
i thought that there are things more important
i didn't have a damn clue about how they're precious and friendly
they are all we will get of good
the rest is ashes of happiness...illusions and fears

Milk & Honey
You dont get your dreamjob
cause youre too tall
You miss your wakeup-call
A drunken guy crashed in your car
Cant pay for your drinks at the bar
Your boss said it was nice to work
With you, you think hes just a jerk
The new shoes you bought
Are ruined after a mile
The sheets are warm
The fridge is filled
Whats up buddy
Everthings so funny
Living in the land, the land of milk and honey
The land of milk and honey
And now your girlfriend sold
Your favourite cd
Theyve towed your car away
While watching girls you fell from a tree
And that was hard
But now the best
You havent seen one girl undressed
Mummy said theyll take you
Out of college

Wee Wee Husband
Wee wee husband,
Give me some money,

And I have no honey.

Go On Ahead
You go on ahead, honey
You have a good time there
You make me feel funny
Im no ordinary lover or friend
I believe we have things to do
I believe in myself and I believe in you
I believe when I sleep you are near to me
When you sleep I am near to you
You walk out of the room with your hands so deep in your pockets,
I dont recognize you
You say youre a ghost in our house and I realize
I do think I see through you
So, you go on ahead, honey
You have a good time there
You make me feel funny
Im no ordinary lover or friend
Its death in our love that has brought us here
Its a birth that has changed our lives
Its a place that I hope well be leaving soon
And I fear for the year in his eyes
And it goes around in circles
One night is lovely, the next is brutal
And you and me are in way over our heads with this one
Its hard to admit it
But you hold me and I cant feel you
We hurt but we smile
I promise Ill make it back when the summer has warmed me awhile
You go on ahead, honey
You have a good time there
You make me feel funny
Im no ordinary lover or friend
I believe we have things to do
I believe in myself and I believe in you
I believe when I sleep you are near to me
When you sleep I am near to you
