If You Want to Get on

By Phillip Hennessy

If you want to get on,
Then you got to get off.
Of what you was into
When you wanted out

Out of the old
And into the new
take a step back
look at the view

Thinking it through
With what you got
and thinking its you
can go, take the lot

Feeling it's here
see yourself there
bleeding and scared
and nobody cares

It's all about you
At the end of the day
When you think it through
there ain't much to say

If you want to get on,
Then you got to get off.
Your day will arrive,
Dead or Alive.

Get off
to get on,
You live,
or you die.
