Shine It On - Sly & The Family Stone, The Family Stone

They may not like the way you walk

They may not listen when you talk

But… will understand

If what you’re doin'

If what you’re doin' is all you can

Shine it on, shine it on

Shine it on, shine it on

Shine it on, shine it on

When you want to

Sometimes the pressure could feel like tons

But keep on stickin', stickin' to your guns

When you’re tryin' to do your best

Don’t you worry, worry, worry about the mess

Shine it on, shine it on

Shine it on, shine it on

Shine it on, shine it on

When you want to

We want to, we’ve got to

We want to shine it on

We want to, we’ve got to

We want to shine it on

We want to, we’ve got to

We want to shine it on

We want to, we’ve got to

We want to shine it on

One ounce of label is all they need

And a pound of care you give indeed

But when they notice only one gram

You can assume they don’t give a damn

Shine it on, shine it on

Shine it on, shine it on

Shine it on, shine it on

When you want to

We want to, we’ve got to

We want to shine it on

We want to, we’ve got to

We want to shine it on

Sometimes the pressure could feel like tons

But keep on stickin' to your guns

When you’re tryin', when you’re tryin'

To do your best

Don’t you worry about the mess

Shine it on

Shine it on, shine it on

Shine it on, shine it on

Shine it on, shine it on

When you want to

We want to, we’ve got to

We want to shine it on

We want to, we’ve got to

We want to shine it on
