Lyrics of Get up

The Kinks

Here's a song for all the little men
Who get forgotten time and time again
Here's a message for the little guy
Don't let this situation pass you by
You're in the middle while the big mouths fight
You get it from the left and the right, ain't it crazy?
So get up off your easy chairs
We've got a lot to do out there, well ain't we?
Good's gone bad, right is wrong
Don't know which side i'm on lately
Get up from the down you're in
Come out of your homes and let's see your faces
Get up out of your easy chairs
Get up and show 'em that you're there

Get up it's your one salvation
Wise up to the situation
Somebody gotta get up and shout
Somebody gotta give us some clout
You're the ones to make it all work out
It all depends on you
Get up off your arses men
Don't let 'em think you're getting lazy
Get up out of your easy chairs
We gotta lot to do out there, well ain't we?
Get up, get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up
Get up, get up
Get up, get up, get up
