Get out of bed and you look in the mirror
And the haze in your head doesn’t get any clearer
The boss man says you’re gonna lose your job
You’re gonna lose your pay if your late, late
And then the weather man says
It’s gonna be sunny and it starts to rain
And you don’t think it’s funny
So you visit your friend but there’s no one home
And you don’t have a dime
And you can’t even call her on the phone
So get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
Your stomach’s so empty and you need some food
So you distract yourself, but it just doesn’t do any good
You think about going home, but it can’t be the same
‘Cause they’ll never change, they don’t want to know
About the scene of view, and the wasting of time
They wanna grab your hair and pull you in line
So get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
Pick yourself off the ground
No one can push you around
Don’t let it get you down
You get up
So get up
Another day goes by and you look in the mirror
And the haze in your head gets a little bit clearer
And you realize that all the silly things
That used to get you down
Was just a test to see if you could get up
