From the recording Downtime
Lyrics
BETTER GET UP
Can’t feel my toes
Will lethargy claim victory once more?
I’ll rise again
The question’s then not if but when
Making grand excuses
Ever tightly holding on
To that lifeline
‘til my self-respect is gone
Better get up
Better get up on my feet
No moss in the street
Hail to the sloth
With energy exceeding me by far
In the race
I’ve learned to cope with seventh place
Given all the chances
I can always find a way
To do nothing
And fight another day
Better get up
Put a gym in my garage
Ready for the Big Montage
Tiny aspirations buzz
As they wend a path inside
My suit of armor
The sting of truth denied
Better get up
Better get up on my feet
With a hunger to compete
Better get up
This sedentary creed
Is the last thing I need
The last thing I need
