Lyrics

Get Up and Get Out

Get up and sing! Get up and shout!
Get up and push your weight about.
Get up and freak! Get up and fight!
Get up and strike for human rights.

Don't hide there curtain twitching,
Pearl-diving in the kitchen,
When there's a train you should be catching,
And an itch you should be scratching.

Get up and sing! Get up and dance!
When you've a chance to take a stance.
Get up some steam! Get up and shout!
Get up to speed! Get up and get out!

Don't be staring at that screen,
Regretting what might have been,
While they sap your strength of will,
You won't be satisfied until...
You get up and get out!
