DIRECTION

GET ON UP!


Get on up now!
Keep grooving!
Get a life now!
Keep moving!
Don't you fade away!

Get yourself a dream,
Something you believe,
You're moving awfully slowly, pal!
Don't let the world pass you by!

Too many heroes are
Preaching against cigarettes and caffeine.
But if that's what it takes, pal,
To keep you moving, well, fine, fine! Just fine!

When the bad rains come,
Don't hide yourself beneath some old tree.
That's where it'll pour the most!
That's just a hangout for lightening bolts!

Don't mind such nasty weather,
Come on up out of your sacred hole!
You might be singing the blues,
But if you are, at least you've got some soul!

Hold your nose! Bow your head!
You're in the presence of the dead!
Get off your seat and get away,
Before they invite you to stay!
