Who are the 'Everybody' in Everybody says?

Slow down my friend is what they say
A little less work, a bit more play


It's not that I've an abundance of greed
Just can't ignore my kids when they plead
Please Dad, just this once, I really need...
And then of course we all have to feed


Slow down my friend is what they say
A little less work, a bit more play


They haven't got a boss like mine
Demanding more and more of my time
To whom the workplace is a shrine
Around which all lives should entwine


Slow down my friend is what they say
A little less work, a bit more play


Still! Regardless of how bad work feels
Its only that, that my bank account heals
Allowing me to submit to those great deals
Regarding a big engine and two wheels


So I won't slow down whatever they say
Motorcycling is the way I love to play

a little less work
a little more play
ah what a perk
if it were my way
but the more I play
the more I have to work
and things dont go my way
and I feel like a jerk
working is needed
playing is too
but once you've been bleeded
there too much to sift through
finding the time to play just a bit
without worrying about work on the side
is a bit of a hit
a long rough ride
a little less work
a lot more play
that's the perk
and frame of mind today


it's a perfect day for a ride too!!

yeah, it is easier to say than to do. i happen to be a harley rider from way back, although my riding was done on a seat leaning against a sissy bar, it was still exhilarating
