Get Up Now

Dark clouds hang over you

Hard times you struggle through

The same old circumstances they bring you down

You're waiting for a turnaround

Now see the world through your mind's eye

You're looking for an answer, but not the reason why

Genius is a fire that won't light itself

You can't afford to wait for somebody else

Get up now, when you're lying on the floor

Get up now, yeah yeah

Get up now, when you can't take it anymore

Get up now, yeah yeah

Dark days your excuse

You're waiting for the world to come to you

Like Rhett told Scarlet, you'll understand

I'm here to tell you frankly I don't give a damn!

You built a wall to hide behind

See your life pass you by you're running out of time

The object of desire is in front of you

I'm trying to make it clear that what ya got to do…is

Get up now, when you're lying on the floor

Get up now, yeah yeah

Get up now, when you can't take it anymore

Get up now, yeah yeah

Like a jewel in the rough you've got to be tough

It's time to breakout and shine on your own

Now see the world through your mind's eye

You're looking for an answer, but not the reason why

Genius is a fire that won't light itself

You can't afford to wait for somebody else

Get up now, when you're lying on the floor

Get up now, yeah yeah

Get up now, when you can't take it anymore

Get up now, yeah yeah

Get up now, when the sand is in your eye

Get up now, yeah yeah
