Every man thinks his burdens the heaviest

And who feels it know it
Who feels it knows it

No don't sit by your window
Gazing at the streets
Sorrying for yourself cause you've got nothing to cat
There's a light within you, so let it shine
Get up and move and start trying trying trying

Just get up and move
Get right in the groove (rep.)

For linger you linger, cry you must cry
Now don't point your fingers and you'll get by
Don't be no moonshine-darling and sit down and cry
Please don't you give up now before you give it a try

Before you give it a try
Before you give it a try, try, try
And don't you give up now
Don't give up now don't give up now.
Don't you give up now before you give it a try
Before you give it a try, try, try

Papa no want, no want no want

No want, no more bondage
For its a long time he's been in slavery
Mama no want, no want no want
No more pain, pain and worry
For its a long time now she's been unhappy

And Who feels it knows it
Who feels it knows it
Every night and every day
Who feels it knows it
By their blood and sweat they pay
Who feels it knows it yea

But linger you linger cry you must cry
No don't point you fingers and you'll get bye
Don't be no moonshine darling and sit down and cry
And please don't you give up now before you give it a try

Give it a try, try, try

Give it a try, try, try
And don't you give up now
Don't you give up now don't give up now
Before you give it a try
Before you give it a try, try, try (rep.)
