The Way They Get Themselves 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.
The way they get themselves up
The way they wash and spray
Put on the right kind of clothes
And go and do another day
The way they sell sell sell
The way they buy buy buy
The way they go pell mell
The way they die die die
The way they change their life
The way they change their hair
The way they watch tv
Like it was really there
The way they jam it up
The way they jam it in
The way they ham it up
The way they play to win
It will all fall down
On a regular day
It will all dry up
It will all blow away
