Franz Ferdinand - 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 us 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 (x8)

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
Because it won't be alright
Oh no it won't be alright
It won't be alright
It won't be alright

Unless you get up
Come on and get up
I need to get up get up
So come on get up get up
So come on get up get up
Unless you get up get up
So get up get up, yeah

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 (x4)
So get up on your own (x8)
So get up get up (x8)
