You Could Have It So Much Better

The last message you sent said I looked really down
That I oughta come over and talk about it
Well, I wasn't down
I just wasn't smiling at you, yeah

As I look at us now it seems
That you're slapping my back
As if it's all alright, but it's not
I'm triying to get up, but you're pushing me down, oh, yeah
You are pushing me down

So I'll get up on my own
Oh, I'll get up on my own
Get up on my own
Oh, I'll get up on my own, yeah

I'll get up on my own
Get up on my own
Oh, I'll get up on my own
Get up on my own, yeah

Now there's some grinning goon on my TV screen
Telling us all that it's alright
Because she wears this, and he said that
And if you get some of these it'll all be alright
And if you get some of these it'll all be alright, yeah

Well, I refuse to be a cynical goon
Passing the masses an easy answer
'Cause it won't be alright
Oh, no, it won't be alright
Oh, no, it won't be alright
It won't be alright

Unless you get up, get up
Come on and get up, get up
Unless you get up, get up
Come on, get up, get up
So come on get up, get up
Come on, get up, get up
Unless you get up, get up
So get up, get up, yeah
That's right (a-ha)
Yeah
Alright

Well, I'm just a voice in your earpiece
Telling you "No, it's not alright"
You know you could have it so much better
Oh, you could have it so much better
If you tried, if you tried
If you tried, if you tried

So get up on your own
Baby, get up on your own
Get up no your own
Baby, get up on your own

Yeah, get up on your own
So get up on your own
Get up on your own
So get up on your own, yeah

Get up, get up
Come on, get up, get up
That's right, get up, get up
Come on and get up, get up
Come on, get up, get up
Yeah, get up, get up
Come on and get up, get up
Come on, get up, get up, yeah
