Country Joe McDonald — You Can Get It If You Really Want lyrics

Lyrics

Chorus:
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try and try, try and try
You’ll succeed at last
Persecution you must bear
Win or lose you got to get your share
Got your mind set on a dream
You can get it though hard it may seem
Rome was not built in a day
Opposition may come your way
But the harder the battle you see
Then the greater the victory
(Rap)
«Hey, don’t get discouraged. You know perseverance furthers. Just put one foot
in front of the other. Try a little bit harder, and pretty soon you’ll get what
you want. It’s all in your mind»
