lyrics

Get A Life | Dave McKinley
Get a life, get a life, I don’t really care if you live or die
Don’t wanna know what you came here for
Kindly go and show yourself the door
All your dreams are made from the comfort of the shade that you were born in
The rest you have been brave and they’re never gonna get it and they’re never gonna take it away
Alright!
I don’t really care if I am right or I’m wrong,
I’m going to write a song about a man who had to write a song
And I want you all to sing along and maybe you could all shake your thing
Get a life, get a life I don’t really care if you live or die
Don’t wanna know what you came here for
Kindly go and show yourself the door
All your dreams are made from the comfort of the shade that you were born in to
The rest you have been brave and they’re never gonna get it and they’re never gonna take it away
Alright!
Holding back my tears I’ve been holding my tongue
I never promised to be righteous man I never promised to be strong
I never meant to fall this far and I don’t know if I can hold on
I got a beard like a captain but I got no legs for the sea
I don’t like that water man and that water don’t like me
You’ve gone and thrown me over board and watch me sink like a stone
All I wanted was some little blue pills out of the machine
But all it gave me was breath freshener s-p-e-a-r-m-i-n-t!
Get a life, get a life I don’t really care if you live or die
Don’t wanna know what you came here for
Kindly go and show yourself the door
Get a life, get a life I don’t really care if you live or die
