[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
