Days turn into afternoons
Afternoons turn into weeks
Pretty soon another year is gone
Still you aint got yourself no peace
Whats the use of sitting around waiting
Anticipating your whole life away
Waiting for you ship to come
Come on that sunny day
Put your mind to it
see yourself through it
First step is the hardest
But you got to get yourself started
Aint no way for a garden to grow
You got to water, got to work with the hoe
Aint no way for yourself to get fed
You dont get up and get out of bed
Wash your face, comb your hair
Get on straight and get out there
{CHORUS} Thats how things get
Thats how things get
Thats how they get done
Open up your mind
Put your body in motion
Go ahead and make yourself a clean sweep
You aint a bear, you dont need that much sleep
{CHORUS}
The world is sick, Its an epidemic
Sometimes what I think we need
Is one good swift kick
Kick
{CHORUS}
