people getting locked up, getting held up, getting beat by the cops they
pay for, people getting lazy, gun crazy, going mad in a traffic jam,
someone wants to kill themselves, have to fight themselves, got to hear
myself think for awhile, people getting blamed, people being maimed and we
got to pay for the mess that's made.
Chorus:
these are the things that drive me crazy these are the things that make me
mad, these are the things that pull my hair out, these are the things that
make me bad
get up before you get beat down, get up before you're not around, get up
before you get too much, get up and see the other side. get up before you
can't decide, get up before you lose your mind, get up before you're out of
time, get up and see the other side.
people getting locked out, getting sold out, getting judged by the job they
hold down, getting laid off, getting paid off, getting killed in the place
of work, people getting ill again got to wait again, got to beg for
immediate help again, got to look about, got to spell it out, are we gonna
adapt to the facts or get on out
Chorus:
these are the things that drive me crazy these are the things that make me
mad, these are the things that pull my hair out, these are the things that
make me bad
get up before you get beat down, get up before you're not around, get up
before you get too much, get up and see the other side. get up before you
can't decide, get up before you lose your mind, get up before you're out of
time, get up and see the other side.
are we here or are we lost, are we happy just to watch, are we being
overcautious are we being overlooked, are we thinking, are we dreaming, are
we satisfied existing, are we sick to death of violence, are we derelict in
mind.
Chorus:
these are the things that drive me crazy these are the things that make me
mad, these are the things that pull my hair out, these are the things that
make me bad
get up before you get beat down, get up before you're not around, get up
before you get too much, get up and see the other side. get up before you
can't decide, get up before you lose your mind, get up before you're out of
time, get up and see the other side
