Michael Franti & Spearhead - Work Hard and Be Nice Lyrics

Everybody wants a good lifeAnd a homeEverybody wants a good friendWhen they're aloneAnd everybody don't want nobody to knowThat everybody's got a soul with a great big holeIn the middle of itLife's a riddle and we try to solve itSo when it's dark, look on the bright sideAnd when it rains, wait on the sunshineEverybody likes gettin' them good vibes'Cause everybody got a heart on the insideWe could take all the hard lessonsAdd a little lovin' and turn em into blessingsDon't complicate itKeep it simpleJust work hard and be nice to peopleOh, just work hard and be nice to peopleWork hard and be niceI don't need a castleOr a throneI'm just tryin to do a little more rightThan I do wrongAnd I don't want nobody to knowThat I got a soul with a great big holeIn the middle of itAnd I'm just tryin' to fill a little of itSo when it's dark, look on the bright sideAnd when it rains, wait on the sunshineEverybody likes gettin' them good vibes'Cause everybody got a heart on the insideWe could take all the hard lessonsAdd a little lovin' and turn em into blessingsDon't complicate itKeep it simpleJust work hard and be nice to peopleOh, just work hard and be nice to peopleJust work hard and be niceSo keep your eyes to the skies and your feet on the groundAnd if you gotta frown I'll help you turn it around andDon't let nobody ever tell you you can't beWho you wanna be or who you wanna seeIn this love or this life or this daySo when it's dark, look on the bright sideAnd when it rains, wait on the sunshineEverybody likes gettin' them good vibes'Cause everybody got a heart on the insideWe could take all the hard lessonsAdd a little lovin' and turn em into blessingsDon't complicate itKeep it simpleJust work hard and be nice to peopleJust work hard and be nice to peopleJust work hard and be niceDon't complicate itKeep it simpleJust work hard and be nice to peopleAll of us are equalSo just work hard and be nice to people
