Get Back Down Lyrics by John Wesley Harding

Get Back Down Lyrics

    I know you think that you are perfect
    So fred astaire, so joan of arc
    I see the light that shines around you
    And leaves you standing in the dark
    'cos you're in debt up to your eyeballs
    You've no idea how much thing 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

    You get so proud because you're humble
    You cut off truth from what is true
    You'll blame your problems on anything
    Except you
    You don't take criticism easy
    I see those handfuls of hair
    And 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


    You say no-one can kill a notion
    Then watch one bleed to death each day
    Say it once, and say it with emotion
    But watch what you say
    'cos you'll hate something on a monday
    Tuesday you love it out of fear
    You're blind by wednesday with your head in the clouds
    You say"it's heaven up here"
    Weekends, it's heaven up here
    Well, you should get back down


    You know if jesus was a rent boy
    Then god was his pimp
    The people in power they squeezed him
    Until he went limp
    If the new messiah called here
    First, we'd put him on hold,
    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
