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 lay down 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

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