First Gong Vol. 8: Thrust FIRST GONG 8 THRUST | Page 165

Heroes are those who look work in the face
And dare to walk away
I mean those, who go to sleep with the keys in their pocket
Who do not gape at suits, and have no difficulty putting eyes back in their
sockets
Those men and women with coarse hands and clean money
Who when they rise in the mornings
Have time to smell the coffee
And will not send in an excuse to be off, because they are coughing
Putting value in your own name
And saying to yourself, freedom is only achieved, when you are your own
slave.
