Rise up!

Wake up to the light

My dreams were pretty good last night

Another day to fight the fight

Oh no, I'm already late

For the job that I hate

Everybody's got to do what they don't wanna do

Day after day, it's getting mundane and I'm bored

Everything's hysterical

Nothing is a miracle

And everybody's right

And as I'm waxing lyrical

My life is still so typical

I think I'm losing sight

Getting by

I'm getting by

I'm counting to ten

And I'm in love again

Trying to keep my head in line

I give and you take

Oh I made a mistake

You never do what I want you to do

Day after day I'm going insane

I'm alone

It's something kind of pitiful

I'm feeling kind of cynical

It's never black or white

They say that I'm relational

But never confrontational

I was never one to fight

Getting by

I'm getting by

Working at the 9-5 a little bit of over time

I'm laboring into the night

Watching as the minutes fly I'm waving to my life good bye I think I'm taking my time

Where did everybody go and all the joy I used to know the mystery's history now

Sometimes I cry, I hold my head high

I'm sure that I'm gonna get by

My vision is hazy and sometimes I'm lazy but someday it will be alright

Getting by...

Rise up!

Keep pressing on
