Get Back Down Lyrics - John Wesley Harding

I know you think that you are perfect 

So Fred Astaire, so Joan of Arc 

I see the light that shines around you 

And leaves you standing in the dark 

'Cause you're in debt up to your eyeballs 

You've no idea how much things cost 

You're so high on higher purpose 

You don't know what you've lost 

You don't know what you've lost 

And you should get back down 

And you should get back down 

And you should get back down 

Well, you should get back down 

You get so proud because you're humble 

You cut off truth from what is true 

You'll blame your problems on anything 

Except you 

You don't take criticism easy 

I see those handfuls of hair 

And when some poor fool attempts to 

You get up on your high horse, yeah, of course 

You get up on your high horse 

And you should get back down 

And you should get back down 

And you should get back down 

Well, you should get back down 

You say no one can kill a notion 

Then watch one bleed to death each day 

Say it once and say it with emotion 

But watch what you say 

'Cause you'll hate something on a Monday 

Tuesday you love it out of fear 

You're blind by Wednesday with your head in the clouds 

You say, you say "It's Heaven up here" 

Weekends, it's Heaven up here 

And you should get back down 

Well, you should get back down 

Well, you should get back down 

You know if Jesus was a rent boy 

Then God was His pimp 

The people in power they squeezed him 

Until He went limp 

If the new Messiah called here 

First, we'd put Him on hold 

We'll get Him a deal and a good looking haircut 

We'd make Him look less old 

Less good and less old 

Tell Him to get back down 

Oh, you should get back down 

Well, you should get back down 

Oh, you should get back down 

Oh, you should get back down 

Oh, you should get back down 

Well, you should get back down
