Let’s Work Lyrics By Mick Jagger

    no sitting down on your butt
    the world don’t owe you
    no sitting down in a rut
    i wanna 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 la la la
    la la la la la la
    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 sitting down on your butt
    and you’re 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 oh

    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
    get down in the dirt and let’s work
    get up be free
    let’s work kill poverty

    get down in the dirt let’s work
    get down in the dirt let’s work
    get down in the dirt
    take off your shirt
    get down in the dirt
    now let’s work let’s work
    oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
