Get Back Down Songtext
von John Wesley Harding

Know you think that you are perfect
So Fred Astaire, so Joan of Arc
See the light that shines around you
And leaves you standing in the dark
′Cause you're in debt up to your eyeballs
You′ve no idea how much things cost
You're so high on higher purpose
You don't know what you′ve lost
You don′t know what you've lost

And you should get back down
Well, you should get back down
You should get back down
Well, you should get back down


You get so proud because you′re humble
Cut off truth from what is true
You'll blame your problems on anything
Except you
You don′t take criticism easy
See those handfuls of hair
When some poor fool attempts to
You get up on your high horse
Yeah, of course, you get up on your high horse

And you should get back down
Well, you should get back down
You should get back down
Well, you should get back down

You say no one can feel an ocean
Then watch one bleed to death each day
Say it once and say it with emotion
Watch what you say
You'll hate someone on a Monday
Tuesday, you′ll love it out of fear
You're blind by Wednesday with your head in the clouds
You say, you say it's heaven up here, yeah
Weekends is heaven up here

And you should get back down
Well, you should get back down
You should get back down, yeah


You know, Jesus was a rent boy
Then God was his pimp
The people in power, they squeezed him
Until he went limp
If a new messiah called here
First, we′d put him on hold
We′d get him a deal and a good-looking haircut
We'd make him look less old
Less good and less old

Tell him to get back down
Well, you should get back down
You should get back down
Well, you should get back down
Well, you should get back down
You should get back down
Well, you should get back down
