[Verse 1]
Well you're thinkin' 'bout a lady
And you don't even know her name
You're lookin' at a gray sky
Through a dirty, dirty window pane
You have nowhere to run to
So you caught the midnight plane

[Chorus]
You better work (You better work it out)
You better work it out
You better work it out
Before, before, before you reach the grave

[Chorus]
You better work (Well you better work it out)
You better work it out
You better work it out
Before, before, before you reach the grave

[Verse 2]
Well you travel 'round the world and back
But you live in one square mile
You never spend your money
'Cause you think that it ain't your style
You think you're high and happy, yes you do
But I never ever seen you smile
[Chorus]
You better work (Well you better work it out)
You better work it out
You better work it out
Before, before, before you reach the grave
