Lyrics

Get out of bed

And you look in the mirror

And the haze in your head

Dosn't get any clearer

The boss man says

You're gonna lose your job

You're gonna lose you pay

If you're late, late

And the weather man says

It's gonna be sunny

And it starts to rain

And you don't think it's funny

So you visit your friends

But there's no one home

And you don't have a dime

And you can't even call them on the phone

So get up

Get up

(repeat 6 times)

Your stomach so empty

And you need some food

So you distract yourself

But it just dosn't do any good

You think about going home

But it cant be the same

Cause they'll never change

And they don't wanna know

About the sin of you

And the wasting of time

They wanna grab your hair

And pull you in line

So get up

Get up

(repeat 6 times)

Pick yourself up off the ground

No one can push you around

Don't let it get you down

You get up

(repeat 4 times)

So get up

Another day goes by

And you look in the mirror

And the haze in your head

Gets a little bit clearer

And you realize

That the silly things

That used to get you down

We're just a test to see

If you could get up

So get up

Get up

(repeat 6 times)

Pick yourself off the ground

No one can push you around

You get up

(repeat 2 times)

Get up

(repeat 14 times)

Whats that you say baby?

Get yourself up off the ground

(repeat & fade)
