You know Jack (Joyce) in his own words from 'Like' by Martin Weller 2015

lyrics

You know Jack

Dedicated to Rogue Beer Meister, Jack Joyce


Give it your best shot; You will stand out from the rest
Just be so good they can't ignore you

Born in the ghetto
Not from the wrong side of the tracks, but born on 'em

Always been a street kid; Hate rich people, even tho' I am one

The only salesman; Taking 7 kegs on the back of my Izuzu
Going bar to bar, giving the samples, see if they liked the stuff
Course they hated it

Hoppy, golden 30 IBU; I was on the road
Staying in Motel sixes; It was hard but a simpler life for sure

Just because you're nice doesn't mean other people will treat you nice
Don't let your guard down

Rogue is gr8
We try to learn from our mistakes
We like to be - authentic

Well that girl's just smarter than shit
Ready, aim – hell just fire it
We're not doing brain surgery here

We like to hire hardcore unemployables
Guys and gals with tattoos that ain't been to jail
You've got to have passion man, else you're gonna fail

Clarity is very important to us if a little hard to get used to
Remember people lie just to make you feel good

They'll lie to you, they'll lie to you
They cover it up – we speak the truth

Then there's energy givers and takers
Stay away from the latter; you need the power of your friends

Everything is your own fault if you're any good
Most people react to criticism instead of listening to its content

Accept it, don't just reject it; dare, risk, dream

We just don't have any fear; the game is scheduled
We have to play so we might as well win; either make dust, or eat it

Some drink at the fountain of knowledge, others they just sip
But if you do your best you will stand out from the rest

Just be so good, they can't ignore you

Words as spoken by Jack Joyce
