Get Busy Lyrics by Nicholas Niespodziani

Nespo Johnny Live @ Eddie’s Attic 11.8.09

0

[Spoken: Niespodziani]
So thank you all very kindly for listening to my songs. My name is Nick. It's a good thing I'm starting to lose everything on stage; things are falling apart very quickly. I always try to say that the reason to come see me is 'cause you don't know if I'm actually gonna make it through every song. So, I've been okay so far, but if you wanna come see the teetering on the edge next time, um, maybe I'll fall. It's like a reality show. Um, I've got CDs. I've got a website; it's pleaserock.com. And here's a song about the economy; thanks for listening to me....
[Verse 1]
Get busy, find somеthing to do
Quit lying around like an old brown shoe
You ain't that good lookin'
And you still got plenty to provе
[Bridge 1]
You could sell Tupperware or read tarot cards
You could work on Wall Street or in your neighbor's yard
Trim hedges or hedge funds
You can cut it here, you can cut it anywhere
You got gifts to give
And folks out there who are demanding their share
[Verse 2]
So get busy, get out & get you some work
You could be a soap opera star or a grocery clerk
You're selling soda either way
So try not to act like a jerk
[Bridge 2]
I tried to sell my soul, but it never got bought
I went back to school, learned I couldn't be taught
I was a rent-a-cop
But I lost every crook that I caught
I guess that's what I got
For tryin' to be somethin' I'm not
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
So get busy, ain't no way you should be bored
You got too many options between your pen & your sword
You could invest in yourself
That's a price anyone can afford
[Bridge 3]
Now, I ain't suggestin' you take up light construction
But you need to engage in some economic production
Times like these are tight
You can't sit around & cry in that beer
You should be tired of hearing the bartender say
"Hey, what are you still doing here?"
[Verse 4]
So get busy, find yourself a question to answer
You could teach philosophy, or you could research a cure for cancer
Or you could get real busy
And become a professional dancer
[Bridge 4]
Now, I tried lyin' & cheatin', but it didn't seem right
I tried to referee, but I jumped into the fight
I was a electrician's assistant
But I never could see the light
I could never work in the morning
'Cause I was out gettin' busy all night, all night, all night, woo!
[Verse 5]
So get busy! Find something to do!
Quit lyin' around like an old brown shoe!
You're better than that
Hey, you're better than that!
[Outro]
You're better than that
Hey, you're better than that!
[Spoken]
Thank you!
[Spoken: Announcer, rising over audience chatter & house music]
...we're gonna start off with a lightning set of reels. Hope you had a great night!
