I cannot help you
You got to help yourself
It's nice to meet you
But now you need to step it up
Why can't you act your age?

Clean it up, make it through the night
Keep it 100, never losing sight, uh-huh
Hard days mixed with hard nights, but the stereo's on
Turn it up, walk into the light
Get on my level, shift to overdrive, uh-huh
Hard days mixed with hard nights, but we smile on

I cannot teach you
You have to educate yourself
Why can't you understand?

No one said this would be easy
Every one of us has worked so hard
To get to where we are, but have we gone too far?

Clean it up, make it through the night
Keep it 100, never losing sight, uh-huh
Hard days mixed with hard nights, but the stereo's on
Turn it up, walk into the light
Get on my level, shift to overdrive, uh-huh
Hard days mixed with hard nights, but we smile on

It don't matter how hard you try
If you lose
And don't break your back, you'll be alright
And try to relax and reach new heights

Clean it up, make it through the night
Keep it 100, never losing sight, uh-huh
Hard days mixed with hard nights, but the stereo's on
Turn it up, walk into the light
Get on my level, shift to overdrive, uh-huh
Hard days mixed with hard nights, but we smile on
