No sitting down on your butt
The world don't owe you
No sitting down in a rut
I wanna show youDon't waste your energy
On making enemies
Just take a deep breath
And work your way upLet's work, be proud
Stand tall, touch the clouds
Man and woman, be free
Let's work, kill povertyLa, la, la
Work your way upLet's work, be proud
Stand tall, touch the clouds
Man and woman, be free
Let's work, kill povertyYou're sitting down on your butt
And your get greedy
You start to lose your nuts
Don't you look seedy
Can generosity bring you humility
So take a deep breathAin't gonna sweat for you
Ain't gonna sigh for you
Ain't gonna cry for you
If you're lazyAin't gonna slave for you
Ain't gonna hurt for you
It just won't work for you
If you're lazyLet's work, be proud
Stand tall, touch the clouds
Let's work, let's eat
Let's live in ecstasy
Man and woman, be free
Let's work, kill povertyLet's work, be proud
Stand tall, touch the clouds
Man and woman, be free
Let's work, let's workGet down in the dirt and let's work
Get down in the dirt and let's work
Get up, be free
Get down in the dirt, let's workGet down in the dirt, let's work
Get down in the dirt
Take off your shirt
Get down in the dirt
Let's work
