You’ve Got To Drink The Froth To Get The Beer

There's some who like to protest, and a lot who like to moan
And no one wants to pay their tax or the interest on their loan
But as you struggle on through life for all that you hold dear
Remember that you've gotta drink the froth to get the beer

Hey, you've gotta drink the froth to get the beer
No matter what you read, or no matter what you hear
It's a laydown hand you bet, you're gonna pay for all you get
Hey, you've gotta drink the froth to get the beer

How often have you heard about the overnight success?
The man who made it to the top in a month or two or less
They say he got it easy with friends who opened doors
But nine times out of ten he's battled twenty years before

Hey, you've gotta drink the froth to get the beer
No matter what you read or no matter what you hear
It's a laydown hand you bet, you're gonna pay for all you get
Hey, you've gotta drink the froth to get the beer

Don't waste your time complainin', 'cause no one wants to know
In life there's no rehearsal, it's straight on with the show
As you're roarin' down a highway, smooth as a feathered bed
Keep an eye out for a sign that says Gravel Road Ahead

Hey, you've gotta drink the froth to get the beer
No matter what you read or no matter what you hear
It's a laydown hand you bet, you're gonna pay for all you get
Hey, you've gotta drink the froth to get the beer, my friends
Hey, you've gotta drink the froth to get the beer
