Get up and not down
You gotta speak what's on your mind, it's tough
Be gentle it's not hard
You gotta show them that you know what's up
I tried to speak up for you
But I whispered 'cause I didn't think it was true
And I hope you can change my mind someday
Like we change the channels
But keeping our hair the same
Now I'm, I'm defeated
Cause I don't agree with what we needed
Now I'm split up, I'm so split up
Can you see that we need someone to love
Get up and not down
You gotta speak what's on your mind, it's tough
Oh be gentle, it's not hard
You gotta show them that you know what's up
And be good, it's about the only time you should
Be good, it's about the time you should
What the fuck am I supposed to do
Cause I listened but you didn't give me a clue
And I hope we can be aligned some day
Like we change our flannels but keeping our hair the same
Now I'm, I'm defeated
Cause I don't agree with what we needed
Now I'm split up, I'm so split up
Can you see that we need someone to love
Get up and not down
You gotta speak what's on your mind, it's tough
Oh be gentle, it's not hard
You gotta show them that you know what's up
And be good, it's about the only time you should
Be good, it's about the only time you should
Get up and not down
You gotta speak what's on your mind, it's tough
Oh be gentle, it's not hard
You gotta show them that you know what's up
Be good, it's about the only time you should
Be good, it's about the only time you should
