No sittin' down on your butt
The world don't owe you
No sittin' down in a rut
I wanna show you.

Don't waste your energy
On makin' 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
Now work your way up.

Let's work, be proud
Stand tall, touch the clouds
Man and woman, be free
Let's work, kill poverty.

You're sittin' 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 ya
Ain't gonna sigh for ya
Ain't gonna cry for ya
If you're lazy. 

Ain't gonna slave for ya
Ain't gonna hurt for ya
It just won't work for ya
If you're lazy
Come on, come on, come on.

Let'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 poverty.

Let's work, be proud
Stand tall, touch the clouds
Man and woman, be free.

Let's work, let's work
Get down, get down, get down
Get down in the dirt and let's work (2×).

Get up, be free
Get down in the dirt, let's work
Get down in the dirt and let's work
Get down in the dirt, take off your shirt
Get down in the dirt and let's work.

Let's work (4×)
Oh yeah, oh yeah (2×).
