Jesse Revel - Get Up Again Lyrics

With so much shame on
Third time this month coming home with the blood run
To tell his father what happened
And he said to his dad with a tear in his eye
Mud on his knees and the stink of despise
He said i did nothing wrong pop
I did nothin' at all wrong

I was crossin' the street
These kids from the beat
Started chasin' me round and shakin' me down
And they pushed me around some
I got beat up again pop

Then with tears in his eyes and fists in his hands
And the stink of despise and rage in his veins
He said look into my eyes son
He said you did nothing wrong son
There'll be days in your life when they take what they can
Kick you hard when you're down
And leave you for dead
Like no injustice was done son
Here's what must be done, son

You wipe the tears from your eyes
Pull yourself to your feet
And you spit in their face
And take what you get
But you get up again son
You gotta get up again son

And they'll hit you again til you're down and you're out
And they'll take what they can til you're broke as a joke
But you get up again son
You gotta get up again son

I brought you into a world full of lies and deceit
Full of men bred to lie and to cheat
Just for money and wealth son
They live for nothing but ransom
Ya they live on our blood
Like a leach like we're pray
Taking all they can get
Til we're dead in our graves
Kid we live in a serfdom
Here's what must be done, son

You wipe the tears from your eyes
Pull yourself to your feet
And you spit in their face
And you take what you get
But you get up again son
You gotta get up again son

And they'll hit you again
Til you're down and you're out
And they'll take what they can
Til you're broke as a joke
But you get up again son
You gotta get up again son

I hope someday, son
We come together
Take the fight to them, son
Until justice be done, son
But til that day come if it ever do come
You do what I told you to do
And you get up again son
You gotta get up again son
