Chorus:
We are we are the Get-goes
Sit back and enjoy the show
We are we are the Get-goes
Sit back we’ll tell you what we know (2x)
We teach others that they should care
We’re all one people and it’s good to share
Forget division we all belong
Now you know the point of this song
Chorus:
The answer’s me, the answer is you
It’s how we act in all you do
Unclench the fist, open the hand
Care about your fellow humans

Truth seeker
You say the word is ending, don’t like that message you’re sending
Let go of the doom and gloom, I tell you now it’s not too soon now
I wanna be my brother’s keeper, wanna be a truth seeker
Live a life uncomplicated, speak the truth that’s simply stated
Build tomorrow, live today, I’m telling you there’s a better way
Let go of the doom and gloom, I tell you now that it’s not too soon now
You say things are getting worse, the human race is surely cursed
Talking ‘bout a new world order, building walls and arming borders
Spreading all your doom and gloom, the end is coming & it’s coming soon, yeah
Listen now there’s a better way; listen to these words I say
Let go of the doom and gloom, I tell you now that it’s not too soon now
I wanna be my brother’s keeper, I wanna be a truth seeker
Live a life uncomplicated, speak the truth that’s simply stated
(Break)
View mankind as sadistic, you claim to be realistic
Prophecies of a dooms day date, a gruesome end to mankind’s fate
Can you feel the walls a shaking? Can you feel the earth a quaking?
Can’t you see that flash of lightning? All designed to make them frightened
Listen now there’s a better way; listen to these words I say
Let go of the doom and gloom, I tell you now that it’s not too soon now
You can be your brother’s keeper; you can be a truth seeker
Live a life uncomplicated, speak the truth that’s simply stated, yeah
Build for tomorrow, live for today (3X)- Yeah (ending)

Thoughts and Prayers
It’s too early to react
But the children are under attack
Your mandate is to normalize
Criticize don’t politicize
Chorus
You got no morals, we need to stop it
You took the bribe to line your pocket
Shill the guns that they sell
We all see that you are going to hell
Thoughts and Prayers-Thoughts and prayers
We all see that you don’t care
Thoughts and Prayers-Thoughts and prayers
We all see that you don’t care
(The NRA paid your share)
You sacrifice your sons and daughters
Off to school or off to slaughter?
What’s the number that must die?
“What can be done?” you parrot the lie
Chorus:
The mentally ill with killing tools
You could stop it but you’re a spineless fool
You got the means to protect the lambs
But instead you got blood on your hands
Chorus

Change the world
Hey Jay what do you say?
Let’s start a band and we can play
All the songs that we wrote and sang
It’ll be a blast and we can hang
Chorus:
We’re gonna change the world
And all the plans we need to unfurl
And all the details we discussed
Nothing can stop the two of us
We’ll play punk rock and power chords
We’ll tour the world and never be bored
We can laugh at an inside joke
We have a bond that can never be broke
Chorus
Bridge:
We’re gonna be big, it’s happening soon
We got the look, we have the tunes
The catchy hooks the crowd can shout
The two of us have it all figured out
We’ll change the system from within
We can’t wait for it all to begin
The greatest band the world has seen for years
See it now, can you hear the cheers?
Chorus

Little bit of alright

|

A little bit of alright
I was struck by their sense of fashion
Deeply committed and full of passion
They were the band that everyone wanted
They’ve got the goods, so why not flaunt it
Chorus:
They got the moves, man they were tight
They have the songs, future was bright
They pack the house , most every night
I’d have to say, they was a little bit of alright
They got the message, it was always on point
A tasteful ballad then they’d rock the joint
Where they going, Johnny, straight to the top
They’ve got momentum, man they couldn’t be stopped
Bridge:
Soon they graced all the magazine covers
Tabloid news of all the ex-lovers
An expose on their rise to their fame
And how they’d never be the same
The handsome singer, everyone’s type
They’re superstars, so said the hype
You see the wave, can you feel the rush
All this exposure is a little too much?
This year’s flavour, can the money been made
A three year run, then they start to fade

Bubble gum
I adore you, but you simply choose to ignore me
That why I only want to explore you
But you simply choose to ignore me
Take a look around
I’ll make you up when you’re feeling down
I will be your jester clown
I’ll make a smile out of your frown
I astound you but you simply choose to confound me
That why I only want to kiss you, so I’ll be the only one you’re missing
Take a look around
I’ll make you up when you’re feeling down
I will be your jester clown
I’ll make a smile out of your frown
I adore you, but you simply choose to ignore me
That why I only want to explore you
But you simply choose to ignore me
Take a look around
I’ll make you up when you’re feeling down
I will be your jester clown
I’ll make a smile out of your frown

Generic BS

Generic B.S.
Plagiarize your love is that a crime?
Everyone loves a cliché line
You can't be clever if you want it to stick
It needs to be familiar if you want it to click
Repetition, repetition, a sampled drum loop
Repetition, repetition, now here's the scoop
Repetition, repetition, the same four chords
Repetition, repetition, will win the awards
Chorus:
Baby baby I love you
Baby baby I need you
Baby baby, you’re the best
Baby baby, can't you see?
It's generic BS
Clap along to our four four time
Shout it out our cliché rhyme
Top of the pops while reach for the stars
Just keep in check the distorted guitars
Repetition repetition you into submission
Repetition repetition yes I'll make that admission
Repetition repetition the chorus that fits
Let's build it up now and make it a hit!
Chorus 2x end

Johnny's got an ego
02:41
|

Johnny’s got an ego
Johnny’s got an ego; that needs to be fed
And all the adulation is going straight to his head
Johnny’s massive ego is breaking up the band
He’s such fucking asshole, it’s getting out of hand
Chorus:
He says he’s going solo
We wish that he’s just go
It’s hard to even stand him
For even one more show
Johnny’s got an ego, it’s making us all sick
He used to be my best friend but now he’s just a dick
He’s getting all the attention; we’re just his hired guns
None of us remember when any of this was fun
Chorus
Cause Johnny’s got an ego 4x
All this confrontation, is coming to a head
But none of us have forgotten all the shitty things he’s said
Cause Johnny’s got an ego, from the bullshit that he’s fed
And when we all look at him, we wish that he was dead
Chorus
Cause Johnny’s got an ego 4x

We quit!
(Spoken over music)
Jay: Johnny you might be wondering why we call this band meeting today
Well I just wanted to make sure you got the message directly from us
We quit! (4X)
We’ll play what we want (8X)
Jay: Hey Rick what do you got to say?
Rick: Yeah, I quit Jay!
Jay: Cool- I thought so, what about you Bon?
Bon: Yeah I’m out.
Jay: Well, in case you’re wondering where I stand on the whole issue Johnny
We quit! (4X)
We’ll do what we want (4X)
We’ll play what we want (4X)
We’re tired of you always putting us down
We’re tired of you always screwing us around
So now we’ve got it all figured out
That’s why we’ll scream, that why we’ll shout
We quit! (4X)

Best that you can

Best that you can
I’m just an average man, I get by the best that I can
But there’s one thing that I can’t understand
Thing don’t work out exactly as planned
Try as you may, doesn’t matter what you say
Some go some stay; try the best that you can
Best intensions don’t always pan out
His love for the band didn’t carry much clout
But there’s one thing that I’m starting to understand
Things don’t work out exactly as planned
Try as you may, doesn’t matter what you say
Some go some stay; try the best that you can
Well you can laugh at me as I trip and I stumble
Well you can coyly smirk as you watch my cookie crumble
But there will come a day when you’ll end your useless chatter
And you will spend your time on things that realty matter
Try the best that you can- oh yeah- try the best that you can
Try the best that you can- oh yeah- try the best that you can
Try the best that you can, try the best that you can, try the best that you can, try the best that you can
Try the best that you can, you can, you can, you can, try the best that you can
Try the best that you can, you can, you can, you can, try the best that you can

Not my problem
You’re someone from so long ago- You’re someone that I used to know
I really hope that you’re doing fine- But right now I don’t got the time, because
Chorus:
I’m so glad you’re not my problem
I don’t wanna make amends
Even after all this time
I don’t need you as a friend of mine
I’m so glad you’re not my problem
So you think that I really should care- But those feeling are going nowhere
There’s one thing I have found- I’m so glad you’re not around because
Chorus
I really wish that you’d leave me alone; your true colours have already shown
Sure I’ll mourn you when you’re dead- I’m so glad that you’re not in my head
Chorus
Hey Johnny, I’m doing fine
Hey Johnny, don’t got the time
Hey Johnny, can’t afford the cost
Hey Johnny why don’t you stay lost
Bye, bye- so long
No, no, you’re wrong
Hey Johnny, can’t afford the cost?
Hey Johnny- why don’t you stay lost?
Hey Johnny, get lost!

The Getgoes- reprise
Chorus:
We are we are The Get-goes
People change and now you know
We are we are The Get-goes
Now you see how the story goes
We are we are the Get-goes
People change so now you know
We are we are the Get-goes
Now we hope you’ve enjoyed the show
Greed, ambition turned on his friends
But look who’s standing in the end
We never succumbed to the culture of greed
We have the music and it’s all we need
Chorus

Good to be around

Good to be around
You know it’s good to be around 4x (so good to be around) third time
The day breaks, your mind aches, may need some more sleep
Your mind wakes, your heart aches, the memories start to seep
Another city, another gig, we play to the end
And early next morning, do it all again
We’ve got coffee to wake us up; we got the whole world to bring us down
We’ve got our fans who keep us up, so our sleep is never sound
Chorus:
As long as my heart keep beating 4x
You know it’s good to be around 2x
So good to be around
You know it’s good to be around
Pays the bills; pop some pills, the monies easily spent
Guarantees, selling tees, it’s how we make our rent
Strum guitar, pretend we’re stars, think up clever rhymes
Play the game, all the same, it’s how we spend our time
We’ve got some coffee to pick us up; we’ll smoked a doob to calm us down
We got our fans who cheer us up, because they really dig our sound
Chorus:
Weekends, depends, it’s mostly when we work
The phone rings, a label thing, an event we’d like to shirk
We’d like to relax, unwind, take it all in
Like to rewind, recline, let it all begin
We got the music to pick us up when whole world brings us down
We got this band that keeps us going as we roll from town to town
Chorus:
