Franz Ferdinand You Could Have It So Much Better Lyrics

You Could Have It So Much Better Lyrics

The last message you sent said I looked really down

That I oughtta come over and talk about it

Well I wasn't down

I just wasn't smiling at you, yeah



As I look at you now it seems

That your slapping my back as if it's alright but it's not

I'm trying to get up but you're pushing me down

Yeah, you're pushing me down



So I'll get up on my own

Oh, I'll get up on my own

Get up on my own

Oh, I'll get up on my own

Yeah, I'll get up on my own

Get up on my own

Oh, I'll get up on my own

Get up on my own, yeah



Now there's some grinning goon on my TV screen

Telling us all that it's alright because she wears this and he said that

And if you get some of these it'll all be alright

Yeah, if you get some of these it'll all be alright



Well I refuse to be a cynical goon

Passing the masses an easy answer

Cause it won't be alright

Oh no, it won't be alright

Oh no, it won't be alright

It won't be alright

 

Unless you get up, get up

Come on and get up, get up

I need to get up, get up

Come on get up, get up

So come on get up, get up

Come on get up, get up

Unless you get up, get up

So get up, get up, yeah

That's right



[Solo]



Well I'm just a voice in your earpiece

Telling, you know, it's not alright

You know, you could have it so much better

You could have it so much better



If you tried

If you tried

If you tried

If you tried



So get up on your own

Baby, get up on your own

Get up on your own

Baby, get up on your own

Yeah, get up on your own

So get up on your own

Get up on your own

So get up on your own



Get up, get up

Come on, get up, get up

That's right, get up, get up

Come on and get up, get up

Come on, get up, get up

Yeah, get up, get up

Come on and get up, get up

Go get up, get up

Yeah!
