If You Want to Get on
By 
Phillip Hennessy
 If you want to get on, 
Then you got to get off.  
Of what you was into 
When you wanted out 
Out of the old 
And into the new 
take a step back  
look at the view 
Thinking it through 
With what you got 
and thinking its you 
can go, take the lot 
Feeling it's here 
see yourself there 
bleeding and scared 
and nobody cares 
It's all about you 
At the end of the day 
When you think it through 
there ain't much to say 
If you want to get on, 
Then you got to get off.  
Your day will arrive, 
Dead or Alive.  
Get off  
to get on, 
You live,  
or you die.
