Lyrics

My people, can't you see, can't you see, can't you see? Take a look, take a look, take a look around you You're getting down too long Get up, get up, get up, get up You've been getting down for much too long Get up, get up, get up, get up You've been getting down too long People, take a look around you, tell me what you see Everybody's busy fighting, there's no unity Your mind is out to a party, the truth your eyes can't see If the earth is the lord and the fullness thereof So tell me what we're fighting for Get up, get up, get up, get up You've been getting down too long Get up, get up, get up, get up You've been getting down too long The ghetto's getting bigger, the suburbs much too close I thought it was some kind of plague and I thought it was a ghost Crime and poverty, inflation, I thought it was a curse Instead of getting better, it's getting so much worse Get up, get up, get up, get up You've been getting down too long Get up, get up, get up, get up You've been getting down too long (Tell me something) Who looks after the children when you're out there getting down? Who is gonna teach them while you're busy fooling around? City's stealing love on the side, but your character just can't hide Get up, get up, get up, get up You've been getting down too long Get up, get up, get up, get up You've been getting down too long (Tell me something) Who the hell you're gonna blame when the child can't write his name? I try my best to educate, sometimes it's in a song I want to beg your pardon, brother, if I say anything wrong Get up, get up, get up, get up You've been getting down too long Get up, get up, get up, get up You've been getting down too long (Won't you hear me now?) Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up Get up, get up, get up, get up You've been getting down too long Get up, get up, get up, get up You've been getting down too long People, take a look around you, tell me, what do you see? Everybody's busy fighting, there's no unity Your mind is out to a party, the truth your eyes can't see If the earth is the lord and the fullness thereof Tell me, what the hell are we fighting for? Get up, why don't you get up? Get up, get up, get up, why don't you get up? You're getting down too long, been getting down too long (Hear me now) Get up, get up, get up, get up You've been getting down too long Get up, get up, get up, get up You've been getting down too long Get up, get up, get up You're getting down too long (Yeah) Get up, get up, get up, get up You've been getting down too long
