Get Up! Lyrics

Ben Harper & Charlie Musselwhite Get Up!

I have a right to get up when I please
I have a right to get up when I please
Don't tell me I can't break the law
Cause the law has broken me

I have a right to get up
Don't care what you say
I have a right to get up
Don't care what you say
You're much too late to be thankful
But thank you anyway

I have a right to get up
Anywhere I'm bound
I have a right to get up
Anywhere I'm bound
Gonna tell the pain dealer
To keep his nervous breakdown

…

I have a right to get up when I please
I have a right to go, to go where I please
Don't tell me I can't break the law
Cause the law has broken me
I have, I have a right
