Franz Ferdinand - You Could Have It So Much Better текст песни

The last message you sent
Said I looked truly down
That I oughtta come over
And talk about it
Well I wasn't down
I just wasn't smiling at you

As I look at us now it seems
That your slapping my back
As if it's all alright, but it's not
I tried to get up
But you're pushing me down
Oh yeah you're pushing me down

So I get up on my own
I get up on my own
Get up on my own
I get up on my own, yeah
(repeat)

Now there's some grinning goon
On my TV screen
Telling us all that
It's alright
Because she wears this
And he says that
If you get some of these
It'll all be alright
Yeah if you get some of these
It'll all be alright

Well I refuse
To be a cynical goon
Passing the masses
An easy answer
Because it won't be alright
Oh no, it won't be alright
Oh no, it won't be alright
It won't be alright

Unless you get up, get up!
Come on and get up, get up!
Why don't you get up, get up!
Come on get up, get up!
(repeat)

Well, I'm just a voice in your earpiece
Telling you no, it's not alright
You know you could have it so much better
You could have it so much better
If you tried
If you tried
If you tried
If you tried

So get up on your own!
If you get up on your own
Get up on your own!
So get up on your own, yeah
(repeat)

Get up, get up!
Come on and get up, get up!
Why don't you get up, get up!
Come on get up, get up!
(repeat)
