You're born into life, learn to discover
They take you for life, no time to recover
Work, baby, work
Roll with the mob, dance to the rhythm
Give all you got and take what you're given
Work, baby work

Hold back the pain, fight for the fever
Work for your girl, work hard to relieve her
Work, baby work
Every day you fight with your job, fight with your lover
Hold back the mob, run for your cover
Work, baby work

Break out tonite, reach out, now don't let go
Put all your guns away
Turn out the light, reach out, now let me know
It all works out, oh yeah

Life, she's a bitch, grab on to it
It ain't whatcha do, it's all how ya do it
Work, baby work
Pray to your God, never say 'never'
Run for your life if it takes you forever
Work, baby work

Don't hurry now, kick back, now take it slow
Put all your guns away
Break out tonite, tomorrow surely knows
It all works out, oh yeah
Work, baby work
