Short Cuts,Long Shots & Deep Cuts

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 days 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
