about

The same version as on Liberator, but has the missing note at the start present and a spoken word at the end

lyrics

​​You know the 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 get this straight
If you keep the first two you'll fulfil the other eight
Everybody work
Everybody work

There's tension between the brothers and the sisters
People need to get along
Open up your hearts to one another
And learn to sing this song

Holy spirit will touch your soul
Stand still, don't rock and roll
Everybody work
Everybody work work work work

If your woman walks out, starts messing about
You must pray for her safety, 'til she works it out
Obedience is better than sacrifice
If you don't die once then you're gonna die twice

Holy spirit make you move about
So with fear and trembling work your salvation out
Everybody work work
Yeah everybody work work work work

(Work work) The spirit is willing
(Work work) But the flesh is weak
And if you're holding (work work) back
It's hard to hear (work work) God speak
Everybody work work work work
Everybody work work work work

Everybody work work
A long time (work work) ago Jesus came to earth (work work)
People didn't wanna know (work work)
Went to the church (work) and he said this is wrong (work work)
If he were here today he'd (work work) come to us and he'd say this is wrong (work work)
You don't really love one another, not yet (work work) you don't
I said love them as I love them (work work)
Love one another (work work), love one another (work work), love one another (work work)

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

(Work work) Everybody work (work work)

(Work work) Everybody work work work (work work) work work

Everybody work (work work) work work wo-wo-wo-oh

Everybody work (work)

Everybody work

​Yeah [Spoken]
