Get Up! Get Up!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Get Up! Get Up!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Just another day of running away
You could be happy to stay
But you're just so negative
Another victim of the world that you say
Is such a damn tragedy
You're just oh so sensitive
And a victim by vocation, it's so sad
To watch you chose to lose your innocence
CHORUS:
How ya get up? Up!
When ya get down
When you're on your knees
Somebody tell me please
How ya get up? Up!
When ya get down
And your skies all fall to pieces
You find you're falling behind in the race
You always get second place
'Cause you just can't rise above
You walk around with a look on your face
You're always making mistakes
Never feel quite good enough
And a victim by vocation, it's so sad
To watch you chose to lose your innocence
CHORUS:
How ya get up? Up!
When ya get down
When you're on your knees
Somebody tell me please
How ya get up? Up!
When ya get down
And your skies all fall to pieces
And it's so damn sad all the time
And it makes me mad to waste your time
But I've heard it all before
How ya get on up when you're on the floor
They're done with you and they don't want more
CHORUS:
How ya get up? Up!
When ya get down
When you're on your knees
Somebody tell me please
How ya get up? Up!
When ya get down
And your skies all fall to pieces
Get Up! Get Up! Hey!
And your skies all fall to pieces
Get Up! Get Up! Hey!
And your skies all fall to pieces
Get Up! Get Up! Hey!
And your world gets complicated
Get Up! Get Up! Hey!
