Get a Handle on It Songtext
von The Getaway People

Hey man, get a life
Wake up
Hello
Reality check
Check, check, reality check, yeah

Walkin′ down the road, tryin' to lose my load
Chick walks up to me and say, "Man, I feel so cold"
Do I have to shout? Get your sad ass out
Freaks like you just make me sick, you leave me with no doubt

Dada′s always drunk, he's a piece of junk
Beatin' up on his girl, actin′ like a punk
Dada′s always broke, can't afford the coke
The alcohol will choke, yeah, he′s a freakin' joke

Get a handle on it
So get a handle on it

Jimmy′s gone to school, they say he was a fool
Couldn't make the grade, he couldn′t keep his cool
Jimmy pulled his piece, "Everybody freeze"
Miss Spencer tried to cool him down, one-two, trigger squeeze


Now Jimmy's in the jam, why, thank you Uncle Sam
You fuc' up my life, I take the blame, oh my, oh, what a shame
"Wasted, that′s what I am," Jimmy started to think
If it′s what it takes to be a man, it fuckin' stinks

Get a handle on it
Come on, get a handle on it
Get a handle on it, yeah

Jenny′s gone to work, her boss is such a jerk
Pattin' Jenny on the butt, he treats her like a perk
So Jenny screams aloud, "I may be well-endowed
But you don′t know your right from wrong, you know that ain't allowed"

So Jenny′s lost her job, just to execute a slob
Standin' up for her rights, it's goodnight, Mr. Bob
The court was fair and square, so Jenny combs her hair
Everybody step aside, electric chair

Get a handle on it, yeah
Everybody, get a handle on it
Come on, and get a handle on it
Oh, get a handle on it

Get away, and get a life, man
Oh, get a life, man, get your own life
So you tell about it
Ain′t here solving problem, it′s already late
