oh you know how it is

wake up feeling blue

and everything that could be wrong is

including you

black clouds and rain and pain in your head

and all you want to do is stay in bed

but if you do that you'll be missing the world

because it doesn't stop turning whatever you heard

if you do that you'll be missing the world

you have to get up get out and get gone!

yeah you know how it is

wake up feeling green

sick as a dog and six times as mean

you don't want to sing you don't want to play

you don't want to swing you don't want to sway

all you want to do is nothing

on a day like today

but if you do that you'll be missing the world

because it doesn't stop turning whatever you heard

if you do that you'll be missing the world

you have to get up get out and get gone!

yeah get up get out and have some fun

you have to get up get out and get gone!

yeah get up get out and get it on

get up get out and get gone!

you have to get up get out and get living

yeah this is really it...

so you know how it is

wake up feeling grey

nothing much to think and nothing much to say

don't want to talk don't want to try

don't want to think don't want to know

who what where when or why...

oh but you do that and you're missing the world

yeah it's happening right now whatever you heard

you do that and you're missing the world

you have to get up get out and get gone!

yeah get up get out and have some fun

you have to get up get out and get gone!

yeah get up get out and get it on

get up get out and get gone!

you have to get up get out and get living

yeah this is really it!
