Get Up
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You got a faded sky
You've got no breathing room
You got a wasted life
You got nothing to do
Get up
Get off the floor (said)
Get up
Do something more
You need a back bone
To roll with the world
You got to get you one
To run with the bulls
You ready?
You ready?
You ready?
Get ready!
You got a pint of blood
You got a loosing hand
You put a house of cards
On a hill of sand
Get up
Get off the floor (said)
Get up
Do something more
You need a back bone
To roll with the world
You got to get you one
To run with the bulls
You ready?
You ready?
You ready?
Get ready!
You got a fatal flaw
Skeleton made of straw
Images on the wall
Keeping you in the dark
Your in a pack of wolves
Trying to live alone
If your going to be a mole
Crawl back inside your hole
Get up
Get off the floor (said)
Get up
Do something more
You need a back bone
To roll with the world
You got to get you one
To run with the bulls
You ready?
You ready?
You ready?
Get ready!
