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
(* Repeat) **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
(** Repeat)
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
(* Repeat) (** Repeat 4 times)
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
