Michael Franti & Spearhead – Work Hard And Be Nice lyrics

Album: Work Hard & Be Nice [2020] / track 11

Verse 1
Everybody wants a good life
And a home
Everybody wants a good friend
When they're alone
And everybody don't want nobody to know
That everybody got a soul with a great big hole
In the middle of it
Life's a riddle and we try to solve it

Chorus
So when it's dark, look on the bright side
And when it rains, wait on the sunshine
Everybody likes gettin' them good vibes
'Coz everybody got a heart on the inside
We could take all the hard lessons
Add a little lovin' and turn 'em into blessings
Don't complicate
Keep it simple
Just work hard and be nice to people
Oh just work hard and be nice to people
Work hard and be nice

Verse 2
I don't need a castle
Or a throne
I'm just tryin to do a little more right
Than I do wrong
And I don't want nobody to know
That I got a soul with a great big hole
In the middle of it
And I'm just tryin' to fill a little of it

Chorus
So when it's dark, look on the bright side
And when it rains, wait on the sunshine
Everybody likes gettin' them good vibes
'Coz everybody got a heart on the inside
We could take all the hard lessons
Add a little lovin' and turn 'em into blessings
Don't complicate
Keep it simple
Just work hard and be nice to people
Oh just work hard and be nice to people
Work hard and be nice

Verse 3
So keep your eyes to the skies and your feet on the ground
And if you gotta frown I'll help you turn it around and
Don't let nobody ever tell you you can't be
Who you wanna be or who you wanna see
In this love or this life or this day

Verse 4
So when it's dark, look on the bright side
And when it rains, wait on the sunshine
Everybody likes gettin' them good vibes
'Coz everybody got a heart on the inside
We could take all the hard lessons
Add a little lovin' and turn ‘em into blessings
Don't complicate
Keep it simple
Just work hard and be nice to people
Oh just work hard and be nice to people
Work hard and be nice
Don't complicate it
Keep it simple
Just work hard and be nice to people
All of us are equal
So just work hard and be nice to people
