We Can’t Sit Down Now Lyrics

[Intro]
Well, I know you're tired
And you wanna sit down

[Verse 1]
You been standin' on your feet for long time
You been out there walkin' with your picket sign
Got your little black babies in the welfare line
Got mad 'cause you're broke, knock your woman down

[Pre-Chorus]
Now you say you're tired
And you wanna sit down
You wanna rest your feet
You say you need a little sleep, heh
Wake up, brother
Ain't no time to sleep
You done helped everybody else
Now get up and do something for yourself

[Chorus]
You can't sit down now (You can't sit down now)
You can't sit down now (You can't sit down now)
'Cause sittin' down done sets you back
Sittin' down ain't where it's at
Get up, brother! (Get up, brother)
Get up, sister! (Get up, sister)
You can't sit down now
Oh!

[Verse 2]
They got your woman out there workin' for nickels and dimes
While you sit there moanin' 'bout the hard times
Brother, you ain't seen no hard times yet
If you don't get you a job and let your woman rest

[Pre-Chorus]
You say you're tired
And you wanna sit down
You wanna rest your feet
You say you need a little sleep, heh
Wake up, brother
Ain't no time to sleep
You done helped everybody else
Now get up and do something for yourself

[Chorus]
You can't sit down now (You can't sit down now)
You can't sit down now (You can't sit down now)
Sittin' down ain't where it's at
Sittin' down done sets you back
Get up, brother! (Get up, brother)
Get up, sister! (Get up, sister)
You can't sit down now

[Outro]
Get up, brother! (Get up, brother)
Get up, sister! (Get up, sister)
You can't sit down now
Get up, brother! (Get up, brother)
Get up, sister! (Get up, sister)
You can't sit down now, heh (Can't sit down now)
We got some work to do now, uh-huh (Can't sit down now)
Ain't no time to sleep (Can't sit down now)
You been sleeping long enough, brother (Can't sit down now)
You been asleep a long time (Can't sit down now)
Get up, brother! (Can't sit down now)
Huh, get up, sister! (Can't sit down now)
