No sitting down on your butt
The world don't owe you
No sitting down in a rut
I want to show you
Don't waste your energy
On making enemies
Just take a deep breath
And work your way up
Let's work
Be proud
Stand tall
Touch the clouds
Man and woman
Be free
Let's work
Kill poverty
La-la-la-la...
Work your way up
You're sitting down on your butt
And you get greedy
You start to lose your nuts
Don't you look seedy
Can generosity
Bring you humility?
So take a deep breath
Ain't gonna sweat for you
Ain't gonna sigh for you
Ain't gonna cry for you
If you're lazy
Ain't gonna slave for you
Ain't gonna hurt for you
It just won't work for you
If you're lazy
Ah hey...
Come on, come on, come on
Hey, hey, hey
Let's work
Let's eat
Let's live
In ecstasy
Let's work
Get down, get down
Get down, get down in the dirt and let's work
Ah get up, be free
Kill poverty
Let's work
Get down in the dirt
Take off your shirts
Get down in the dirt
Let's work, let's work...
Oh yeah...
