Why Get Up?

Phone keeps ringin' right off the hook.

Some bill collecter I know I cussed.

I think I'll stay in bed and dream all day.

The world outside bugs me anyway.

When I get things going the going gets rough,

so I ask myself why get up?

Why get up? Why get up?

How can I get up?

why should I get up?

This whole worlds gone crazy, Think I've seen enough.

I'm gonna sleep forever - why get up?

I went to the doctor He said loose some weight.

And if you don't do it quick we got to amputate.

I talked to my lawyer he said case is closed

That woman got it all even the garden hose.

I'm starin' at the ceiling thinking just my luck

I think I'll roll back on over - why get up?

Why get up? Why get up?

How can I get up?

why should I get up?

This whole worlds gone crazy, Think I've seen enough.

I'm gonna sleep forever - why get up?

Well I can't quit tickin' - I'm nervous all the time

when I wake up these nights, it's turnin' round in my mind

what was it I said to that girl last night

She really got upset I better stay out of sight

I remember the gun and someone calling my bluff

I better duck undercover - why get up?

Why get up, why get up

how can I get up

Why should I get up

this whole worlds gone crazy think I've seen enough

Think I'll roll back on over why get up.
