The way it is
If you give a mouse a cookie,
He'll just want another one,
He'll never really be satisfied,
Until he has them all and you have none.
A simple lesson to be learned,
No reason for you to be concerned.
That is just the way things go,
A truth that everyone already knows.
If you give a man a dollar,
He'll just want another one,
He'll never really be satisfied,
Until he has them all and you have none.
I thought it would be obvious,
That this is just the way it is.
That we are all selfish in some way,
No matter what role in life we play.
If you give a child some candy,
He will offer to share with you.
And if there was only enough for one,
He would tear the piece in two.
Maybe we should take our queue,
From those coming into the world anew.
They seem to understand a little better,
That we're all in this life together.
Thanks,
