You Could Have It So Much Better

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

Yeah you're pushing me down

So I'll get up on my own

Now there's some grinning goon

On my TV screen

Telling us all that

It's alright because

She wears this

And he wears 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

It won't be alright

Unless you get up

Come on and get up

Well I'm just a voice in your earpiece

Telling you no

Its not alright

You know you could have it so much better

You could have it so much better

If you tried

Get up on my own

Come on and get up
