Reality Cheque New

Reality Cheque

When I fell asleep, the sun was bright,

My dreams they felt so true.

Its funny, how quick things can change,

The hurt we all go through.

Not all bad, the game of life,

Things can seem so rough.

We take each hit and get back up,

Each time we get more tough.

The dealer plays the cards of fate,

Feels like a loaded deck.

Just when you thought credit was good,

Hit with, reality cheque.

They say it pays to do things right,

Live life, by the rules.

Take it from a man, who knows,

Destiny won’t suffer fools.

If you think, you’ll get what’s owed,

Or more than you deserve.

Back to school for you my friend,

Ask if you have the nerve.

The dealer plays the cards of fate,

Feels like a loaded deck.

No matter how much credit you have,

Hit with, reality cheque.

Bad things happen to one and all,

No care for wealth or race.

The hand of fate can seem so cruel,

No regard for time or place.

We all choose which path to take,

Learn when we get it wrong.

Life is hard for all of us,

An achievement to belong.

The dealer plays the cards of fate,

Feels like a loaded deck.

Just when you thought credit was good,

Hit with, reality cheque.
