Days turn into afternoons
Afternoons turn into weeks

Pretty soon another year is gone
Still you ain’t got yourself no peace
What’s 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
Ain’t no way for a garden to grow
You got to water, got to work with the hoe

Ain’t no way for yourself to get fed
You don’t get up and get out of bed
Wash your face, comb your hair

Get on straight and get out there
{CHORUS} That’s how things get
That’s how things get

That’s how they get done
Open up your mind
Put your body in motion

Go ahead and make yourself a clean sweep
You ain’t a bear, you don’t need that much sleep
{CHORUS}

The world is sick, It’s an epidemic
Sometimes what I think we need
Is one good swift kick

Kick
{CHORUS}
