Ben Harper – Get Up! lyrics
I have a right to get up when I feel
I have a right to get up when I feel
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, even where I’m bound
I have a right to get up, even where 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 Wlease
Don’t tell me I can’t break the law
Cause the law has broken me

I have a, I have a right
