Work Together

(album: Walk That Walk, Talk That Talk - 1991)

In the evening when the sun goes down
I'm out there on the stomping ground
Out there scuffling to make some bread
Trying to keep the water below my head

Listening to the baby's crying
Seeing the men and the women dying
People starving without a home
We can't even take care of our own

We got to work together
Work, work, together
Come on, people, got to work together

Politician got the same old news
Make a lot of promises and never come through
We got to tell the world that we don't need 'em
Messing it up in the name of freedom

Everybody's sick of the dog-eat-dog
Sick and tired of the dialogue
That's what got us in this fix
Too much doggone politics

Well, we got to work together
Work, work, together
Come on, people, got to work together

Work, work
We got to work together
Work, work
Everything'll be better
Work, work
Oh, come on, everybody

Everybody reach out a hand
Got to give it up to your fellow man
Well, let's stop all this insanity
Connected with humanity

Oh, now why do we have to live in fear
Of breathing in the atmosphere
Polluting all the land and sea
With pesticide and mercury

You got to admit the idea's thrilling
Stop the blood and the oil from spilling
You can do it if you're willing
Got to do it for the children

We got to work together
Work, work, together
Come on, people, got to work together

Well, we got to work together
Work, work, together
Come on, people, got to work together

We got to work, work together
I said now, work, work together
Everybody, talking to you now
We got to work, work together
Make me so happy
If we all work together...
