One two you skip a few
When you've been there
But they pass over you
And the finish line is not in view for you
There's no short cuts
Just long shots & deep cuts
They said help wanted
So you heeded the call
Labored to seven day a week from nothing at all
But office politics make those hours fall
Career becomes a job
There's no short cuts
Just long shots & deep cuts
Doesn't matter how early or on time
For days or weeks or years at a time
Or distance that you travel
Or length of time, I remind
There's no short cuts
Just long shots & deep cuts
