Get Back Down Lyrics by John Wesley Harding

Why We Fight

0

[Verse 1]
Know you think that you are perfect
So Fred Astaire, so Joan of Arc
See the light that shines around you
And leaves you standing in the dark
'Cause you're in debt up to your eyeballs
You've no idea how much thing cost
You're so high on higher purpose
You don't know what you've lost
You don't know what you've lost

[Chorus]
And you should get back down
Well, you should get back down
You should get back down
Well, you should get back down

[Verse 2]
You get so proud because you're humble
Cut off truth from what is true
You'll blame your problems on anything
Except you
You don't take criticism easy
See those handfuls of hair
When some poor fool attempts to
You get up on your high horse, yeah, of course
You get up on your high horse

[Chorus]
And you should get back down
Well, you should get back down
You should get back down
Well, you should get back down

[Verse 3]
Say no one can kill a notion
Then watch one bleed to death each day
Say it once, and say it with emotion
But watch what you say
You'll hate someone on a Monday
Tuesday you'll love it out of fear
You're blind by Wednesday with your head in the clouds
You say, you say, "It's heaven up here," yeah
Weekends, it's heaven up here

[Chorus]
And you should get back down
Well, you should get back down (Get down, get down)
You should get back down (Yeah)

[Verse 4]
You know if Jesus was a rent boy
Then God was his pimp
The people in power they squeezed him
Until he went limp
If the new messiah called here
First, we'd put him on hold (Hang on)
We'd get him a deal and a good-looking haircut
We'd make him look less old
Less good and less old

[Chorus]
Tell him to get back down
Well, we should get back down (Get down, get down)
We should get back down
Well, we should get back down
We should get back down (Get down, get down)
We should get back down
(Get down, get down, get down, get down)
Well, we should get back down

[Outro]
Hey!
