Don't be depressed, that's a distraction
Use your voice, if you want action
Go, from the hills, you've got to wake up, go!
And break the walls, and shake it up
Don't you know, your life is yours
So come on and shake your hair, never give in
Go on stir it up, mix it up, shake it up
You'll always win, shake your spears
Spread the word around, don't let life get you down
Go dangle in the jungle, shake, shake, propagate
Splish splash the paint, remember Picasso
Girls stab the boys, and make them cry
Don't let life get you down
If you want joy you jump, if you want joy you jump
Shake it up, wake it up
If you want joy you jump, if you want joy you jump
Shake it up, wake it up
You've gotta shake your spears
Crash, smash, the city's trash, we want
Warrior rock, the bombs that come, don't get me wrong but
Beware the bomb goes, there's your screaming Navahos
Don't let life get you down
If you want joy you jump, if you want joy you jump
Shake it up, wake it up
If you want joy you jump, if you want joy you jump
Shake it up, wake it up
You've gotta shake your spears
Crumbling and tumbling, from the Valley of the Kings
Don't turn your backs, we're coming
Boys and girls, change the world, it's time, it's time
To wake up!
Run from the hills, wake up, walk tall, shake it up
Stand the blows, shake your head, never give in, mix it up
You'll always win, never say die, shake your spears
Don't let life get you down
If you want joy you jump, if you want joy you jump
Shake it up, wake it up
If you want joy you jump, if you want joy you jump
Shake it up, wake it up
If you want joy you jump, if you want joy you jump
Shake it up, wake it up
If you want joy you jump, if you want joy you jump
Shake it up, wake it up...
