about

From Live At Flevo With Q-stone, but with some crowd noise at the start and end removed. The introductory cymbal hits are removed in the process.

Note: This song was actually a medley - Everybody Work /Twist And Shout / Shout - but is edited here due to Bandcamp policy on cover versions

lyrics

You know your flesh will make you twist and shout
So with fear and trembling work your salvation out
Everybody work
(Everybody work)

There are ten commandments now keep this straight
If you just keep the first two you'll fulfil the other eight
Everybody work ye-ah yeah yeah
(Everybody work)

You know there's trouble between the brothers and sisters
People need to learn to get along (Ooh)
Open up your hearts to one another (Ooh)
And learn to sing this song (Ooh ooh)

If you don't know what I'm saying, go home and pray
Read your bible and die every day
Everybody work yeah yeah yeah yeah
(Everybody work)

Everybody work yeah ooh huh
Work it, everybody work

You know there's trouble between the brothers and sister
People need to learn to get along (Ooh)
Open up your hearts to one another brother (Ooh)
And learn to live this song (Ooh ooh)

If you don't know what I'm saying, go home and pray
Read your bible, die every day
Everybody work uh uh oh-oh oh oh
(Everybody work)

Shake it up now, shake it up
Twist and shout yeah
Everybody work
(Everybody work)

I said shake it up baby

Wait a minute, wait a minute
You've been so good to me
There's something I gotta say
I need to pray, open up my heart every day
Reach out to me Lord and touch me
T,t,t,t just touch me

And if you don't know what I'm saying
Go home and pray
Read your bible and die every day
​Everybody work
Everybody work (Work work work work)
Everybody work (Work work work work)

​(Work work) Everybody got to do it right (Work work)
​(Work work) Live each day, pray at night (Work work)
​(Work work) Get up early in the morning, go out to work (Work work)
​(Work work) Be a dutiful christian baby, don't be a jerk (Work work)

Everybody work work work work (Work work) ​(Work work)
Yeah yeah yeah
Everybody work work work work (Work work) ​(Work work)
Everybody work work work work
Everybody work work work work
Everybody work

Take the high way to Jesus [Spoken]
