Lyrics:
If you work all day from nine to five
And come home feeling half alive
And never see your kids and wife
Then I’ve got news for you
There’s no point doing what you do
Unless it’s somehow good for you
You’ve got to get a result or two
in the form of something real
Now if you’re feeling stressed and not the best
And have trouble finding happiness
Well here’s one thing I will suggest
Obtain yourself a yield
Obtain yourself a yield
Sustain your energy
Don’t drain yourself
Maintain yourself
Obtain yourself a yield
Now, money’s not the only yield,
You could be making a bigger deal
About what you eat for your next meal
You can’t run on an empty tank
Ignore the stash of cash in your pocket
Just make a salad with homegrown rocket
You just have to go out back and pluck it
No need to go to the bank
You gotta work your days for stuff that pays
In not just money, but in many ways
It’s time you cleared away the haze
And obtained yourself a yield
Obtain yourself a yield
Of something you can eat
You can produce
Some things of use
With your own two hands and feet
Obtain yourself a yield
Right in the here and now
Make sure to earn
Something in return
Here, let me show you how
Now if you’re feeling sleepy
Then go and have a sleep
And if you feel like there’s not enough air
Then breathe in very deep
If you’re thirsty then you oughta
Get yourself a drink of water
And if it’s gonna be cold
And your feeling bold
You could shear yourself a sheep
In any given moment
There’s everything you need
Just look around, it will be found
Then obtain yourself a yield
Obtain yourself a yield
Take only what you need
Life’s pretty fun when you’re getting’ some
But there’s no need for greed
Obtain yourself a yield
And one for others too
Make sure to seal both ends of the deal
Of what’s good for both of you
Yeah, an easy way to do it
Is to give one to your friends
Because the good things you do come back to you
And the yield just never ends
That’s right the good things you do come back to you
And the yield just never ends
The good things you do come back to you
And the yield just never, ever, ever ends!
