Lyrics

Funk gets the Reggae rider off the hook
Some bill collector, I know what cooks
I think I'll stay in bed and dream all day
The world outside bugs me anyway
When I get things going, the going gets rough
So I ask myself, why get up?
Why get up? Why get up?
How can I get up? Why should I get up?
This whole world's gone crazy, think I've seen enough
I'm gonna sleep forever, why get up?
I went to the doctor, he said lose some weight
And if you don't do it quick, we gotta amputate
I talked to my lawyer, he said case is closed
That woman got it all, even the god knows
I'm staring at the ceiling, thinking just my luck
I think I'll roll back on over, why get up?
Why get up? Why get up?
How can I get up? Why should I get up?
This whole world's gone crazy, think I've seen enough
I'm gonna sleep forever, why get up?
Well, I can't quit drinking, I'm nervous all the time
When I wake up this life's a ton of lead on my mind
What was it I said to that girl last night?
She really got upset, I better stay out of sight
I remember the gun and someone calling my bluff
I better duck under cover, why get up?
Hey, why get up? Why get up?
How can I get up? Why should I get up?
This whole world's gone crazy, think I've seen enough
I'm gonna roll back on over, why get up?
