Getting Even Lyrics by Guster

Goldfly

1997

[Verse 1: Adam Gardner]
She leans closer to me
I give a warning of higher calling
Must go over with me
We're not happy in the place we are

[Pre-Chorus: Adam Gardner & Ryan Miller]
Get up, the countdown will begin
Get up, towards devotion
Get up, leave everything with them
Get up, cause you won't need anything

[Chorus: Adam Gardner & Ryan Miller]
We'll be shielded up above
And the screams will not reach us
Fear will be undone
On the path of chosen ones
Getting even

[Verse 2: Adam Gardner/Gardner & Ryan Miller]
They haven't heard a word we've said
They make mistakes
They doubt his calling
To taste revenge will be so sweet
When we have left them this place

[Verse 3: Adam Gardner & Ryan Miller]
And as we leave our sacrifice
One final step outside
No longer feel these things around
Soon we'll be happy in the place we are

[Pre-Chorus: Adam Gardner & Ryan Miller]
Get up, the countdown will begin
Get up, towards devotion
Get up, leave everything with them
Get up, cause you won't need anything

[Chorus: Adam Gardner & Ryan Miller]
We'll be shielded up above
And the screams will not reach us
Fear will be undone
On the path of chosen ones
Getting even

[Chorus: Adam Gardner & Ryan Miller]
We'll be shielded up above
And the screams will not reach us
The fear will be undone
On the path of chosen ones
Getting even
