Get up outta the dirt

Hip hop music is not usually my first choice in music, but this song by Brisbane band "Butterfingers" has brilliant lyrics. What we make of our lives is our choice.

There’s never been a better time than right now
To get up outta the dirt
There’s never been a better time than right now
To get up outta the dirt
......
If you sniffle ‘cause your life’s difficult, that’s typical
What you get, what you give
Karma is reciprocal
......
I got a couple of bones to pick
It's your life, don't whine, take ownership
Get up, stand up, throw your hands up
While high check your mind back for propaganda
We’re there to slander
Truth to candour and it’s good for the goose as it is for the gander
Every gamut of the planet reaps what it sows
So forget about your hair and forget about your clothes
Same goes for your woes for the moment is priceless
Puberty blues becomes midlife crisis
......
This isn’t an attack or a lack of compassion
But you gotta get yourself back in the action
Tap into your passion and follow it up
Either that or let the madness swallow you up
How full is your cup, half-full or half empty?
You’re the envy of plenty, tread gently
Apathy is deadly and if you got seeds of doubt
That need to sprout, you need to weed them out
I read about people with real cares
And feel for those getting killed in Zaire
Children die there from extreme poverty
In perspective my problems don’t bother me
Think positive, forget about the negative
There’s never been a better time to get your shit together,
It’s bad etiquette to bitch and moan
With your nice clean clothes and your mobile phone
If you can’t see your feet ‘cause you over-eat
And that’s your biggest problem then your life is sweet
Not sleepin’ on the street then you probably got it good
Get up, put your head up, if you can then you should
......
Stand up straight!
Don't take no shit!
Hands on your shoulders, shoulders on your hips
It's time for a change!
So make it swift!
You're only getting older with the lifeline that you live
......
There's never been a better time than right now
To get up outta the dirt
