You gotta pick yourself up
You gotta get yourself ready, Eddy
You gotta gird yourself for the storm
There are dark clouds ahead
And they ain't just a feeble metaphor
They are way, way out of the norm
How you gonna endure it, how you gonna survive it
How you gonna live through it, how you gonna find your way
You make it work
You make it work, oh yeah
You make it work
You make it work, oh yeah
That's what you gotta do
It is up to you, you make it work
You gotta learn a skill
You gotta know how to work the system
You gotta be a Mister Freakin' Smarty Pants
You gotta spread the word
Even if they don't wanna hear it
You gotta treat 'em all like worker ants
It's a big old world, yeah, you can't deny
It's a big old world but you can change it
Change it if you try
You gotta take out the trash
You gotta build yourself a better alternative
You gotta do it with your own two hands
You gotta have a vision
You gotta keep and love and nurture it
You gotta spread it 'round to far-off lands
