“Get up,
Get on up.
Stay on the scene.
Get on up,
Like a Sex Machine.

Get up.
Shake your arm,
Then use your form.

You gotta have the feeling,
Sure as you're born.”

You're getting a bad reputation in your neighborhood.
It's alright, it's alright;
Sometimes that's what it takes.
You're only human, you're allowed to make your share of mistakes.”
