Lyrics

Mm, hear me calling, yeah (got me)
Yes, I'm coming
Hear me call (one time, come on)
Yo!
Callin' on the young generation
We are young and strong and should know right from wrong
We've got to find ourselves an occupation
We've got to find a way to help ourselves today
We don't wanna steal or borrow (no, no, no)
So let's prepare for tomorrow
Let us show the world that we must get by
Let us try, try, try and try (oh, try)
Oh, my brothers, what a situation!
The poor will suffer more, if we don't open the door
We've got to find ourselves an occupation
We cannot sit and stare while they remove our share, calm!
And we don't wanna steal or borrow (no, no, no)
Let's prepare for tomorrow ('morrow, yeah)
Let us show the world that we must get by
Let us try, try and try, try
Keep on tryin' (I gotta leave 'em)
Keep on tryin' (oh, I can't stop)
Try (never stop, y'all)
(No, no) no way
And we don't wanna steal or borrow (borrow)
So let's prepare for tomorrow (oh, no)
Let us show the world that we must get by
Let us try, try and try (oh, try)
Never stop 'em (keep on tryin')
You can't stop me (never leave 'em work alone)
I'm gonna get my job (try) and work until you sweat to tears
(Keep tryin') and I'll never stop, I've yet done all done (never stop, no)
(Try) make the move and soothe
(Try) don't you try to stop me (yeah, yea-yeah)
(Don't try) ride on my world train (I gotta work, please)
(Try) I'm gonna leave you down in town, yeah
