Get Back Up Lyrics

I was gone

Needed medicine

I got lost

Down in Kensington

Don't use a needle

I'm just having fun

Playing Russian roulette

I don't use a gun

I had it made

As the first born son

Wanted for nothing

Loved by everyone

I had a soul of wood

I was never young

Misunderstood

By my generation

I've been calling

I've been calling your name

Can't you see I've fallen?

Help me get back up

And I've always

Had the key to that ball & chain

I've been hauling

Time to get back, get back up

You don't need no preacher

Time will be your teacher

Mend the broken pieces

And get back up

Aww yea, well

I was raised

By a loving man

And he told me

I could be anything

But my restless soul

He could not understand

So I sought refuge

In a chemical wonderland

I knew I was falling

When I saw my birth

Through every moment

Up til I left this earth


And when I get back

From my vacation in hell

I'll be riding a natural high

With a record to sell

Oh, I'll admit it

Someone's calling

Someone's calling my name

Whispering darling

Time to get back up

Cuz You've always

Had the key to that ball & chain in your pocket baby

Time to get back

Get back up

You don't need no preacher

Time will be your teacher

Mend the broken pieces

And get back up

Alright I don't need no preacher

Time will be my teacher

Mend them broken pieces and

Get Back Up

Time to get back up

Been down to long
