[Verse 1]
Sitting around wishing
Won't erase your problem, no
Its gonna take a lot of pain
You've got to struggle to solve 'em
Can't explain, no, no, no
They ain't just to change
No, they won't now
When all you want to do
Is sit around and complain

[Verse 2]
Now you can lay around
And sleep, sleep, sleep
Day after day
Week after week
Nothing comes to a sleeper
But a dreamer
People arise today
And shake yourself
That's what you better do now
If you ain't wide awake
You sure get there, yeah

[Chorus]
Lay around and sleep, sleep, sleep
Day after day
Week after week
Nothing comes to a sleeper
But a dream, y'all
[Verse 2]
So many people spend their whole life wishing
Yes, they do now
Now you can wish in one hand
Try in the other
See which one fill up the quickest, yeah

[Chorus]
Now you can lay around
And sleep, sleep, sleep
Day after day
Week after week
Nothing comes to a sleeper
Nothing but a dream, y'all

[Verse 3]
So get up
And take your place
Don't let your mind
Don't let it go to waste
You better get up
And take a stand, yeah
You let the world know
That you are not to fool, man
