Do you ever feel meh like I do?
Battered and bruised misused and diffused
Conniving together the body and mind to unwind their unkind
Relentless persistent breathless insistent always consistent
I am made of gelatin I need an exoskeleton
To last the daytime the nighttime without any overtime

You better get it together
Take it and fake it
Don’t ever hate it
It’s your time the hands keep on turning
Don’t lose the chance to just keep on learning

I’m shuffling and hobbling my mind is just boggling
How do I do it? Why do I do it?
What is the power source what is the secret sauce?
What can I take and partake and conjure and make
To power each hour and build some firepower
Get through today tomorrow make way

You better get it together
Take it and fake it
Don’t ever hate it
It’s your time the hands keep on turning
Don’t lose the chance to just keep on learning

None of it matters don’t overthink it
Scream if you want to just don’t ever quit
Mitigate don’t take the bait let the pain abate
It flows it comes and goes and nobody knows
What it’s like on the inside the far side the near side the outside
And that’s just fine cos no one wants to hear you whine

You better get it together
Take it and fake it
Don’t ever hate it
It’s your time the hands keep on turning
Don’t lose the chance to just keep on learning

Locked down and struck down ain’t going downtown
Wait for October when it will be over and body recovers
Bit by bit acquit from the crime that gave me the grime
The dirty disease that puts life on freeze
I’m done with you now let’s call a pow wow
I have things left to do – fuck you.

You better get it together
Take it and fake it
Don’t ever hate it
It’s your time the hands keep on turning
Don’t lose the chance to just keep on learning
