Lyrics Work Harder on Yourself - Buck Bowen

Is that all the job pays or all the job pays you?
If you want more money, create more val-you
Don't get paid based on time despite popular opinion
But rather you get paid for the value that you put in it

If it's easy do it easy, if it's hard do it hard
Just get it done, just kick it in start
You can't change what's around you, and that's nothing new
But you can change yourself, and you can change what you do

Some have it bad; some have it great
But either way, you can't change the sun or the rain
So what's that to say? Well, it's to say this
A better life awaits when you throw away your blame list

You're better off without it's
Not what happens that determines your future, but what you do about it
Don't wish for less problems, wish for more skills
More skills to solve them

It makes all the difference when
You do something different and focus on your discipline
To have more, become more
And that's how you get a good foot in the front door

Is that all the job pays or all the job pays you?
If you want more money, create more val-you
Don't get paid based on time despite popular opinion
But rather you get paid for the value that you put in it

Is that all the job pays or all the job pays you?
If you want more money, create more val-you
Don't get paid based on time despite popular opinion
But rather you get paid for the value that you put in it

Learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job
And in due time, you'll be moving along
Don't try to change the soil, never mind the seed
A propensity to change until you get it right is all you need

See your target, aim
We get paid for bringing value to the marketplace
So, if you want to double your income
Then double your value, double your wisdom

Oh, you're going to go on strike for more money?
Well, you can't get rich by demand buddy
You're going to wait for a raise?
Man, it's easier to climb the ladder rather than wait

So develop your philosophy, skills, the graces
Work on your attitude, health, your language
If you double your value, could you earn more?
The answer is, "Of course!"

Is that all the job pays or all the job pays you?
If you want more money, create more val-you
Don't get paid based on time despite popular opinion
But rather you get paid for the value that you put in it

Is that all the job pays or all the job pays you?
If you want more money, create more val-you
Don't get paid based on time despite popular opinion
But rather you get paid for the value that you put in it
