You Could Have It So Much Better Lyrics & Chords By Franz Ferdinand

The last message you sent
Said I looked really down
That I oughta 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 you're slapping my back
As if it's alright but it's not
I'm trying to get up
But you're pushing me down
Oh yeah you're pushing me down

So I get up on my own
Oh, I get up on my own
Get up on my own
Oh, I get up on my own, yeah
I get up on my own
Get up on my own
Oh, I get up on my own
Get up on my own, yeah


Now yeah, 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
Yeah 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
Come on and get up
Unless you get up
Come on, get up
So come on, get up
Come on, get up
Unless you get up
So get up, yeah

Well I'm just a voice in your earpiece
Telling you no - 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

'Cause you get up your own
Yeah you get up on your own
Get up on your own
Yeah you get up on your own, yeah
Get up on your own
So come on, get up on your own
Get up on your own
So get up on your own, yeah

Get up
Come on, get up
That's right, get up
Come on, get up

Yeah
