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

Listening to the baby's cryin'
Seein' the men and the women dyin'
People starvin' 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
Messin' 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 breathin' in the atmosphere
Polluting all the land and sea
With pesticide and mercury

You got to admit the idea's thrillin'
Stop the blood and the oil from spillin'
You can do it if you're willin'
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, talkin' to you now
We got to work, work together
Make me so happy
If we all work together...
