Lyrics Van Morrison

Van Morrison

Professional Jealousy

Professional jealousy, can bring down a nation

And personal invasion, can ruin a man

Not even his family, will understand what's happening

The price that he's paying, or even the pain

Professional jealousy, started a rumour

And then it extended, to be more abuse

What started out as just, black propaganda

Was one day seen to be, believed as truth

They say the truth is, stranger than fiction

But a lie is more, deadly than sin

It can make a man very, bitter and angry

When he thinks that there's someone, is going to win

Professional jealousy makes other people crazy

When they think you've got something that, they don't have

What they don't understand is it's, just not easy

To cover it all, and, stand where you stand

Professional jealousy, makes no exception

It can happen to anyone, at any time

The only requirement is, knowing what's needed

And then delivering, what's needed on time

The only requirement is to, know what is needed

In doing the best you know how, deliver on time

The only requirement is, to know what is needed

Be best at delivering the, product on time.
