Get Even from Canadiana by Philip Rambow

It’s nice to get up,
it’s good to get down
It’s fun when your vibe,
is all over town
It’s great to be loved,
to have something to believe in
But take it from me,
It’s better to get even

You’ve washed the car,
you’ve mowed the lawn
You’ve done your jobs,
from dusk till dawn
You’ve gone to school,
you’ve shined you shoes,
You read the paper,
heard the news
You’ve learned the truth,
you’ve seen the thieving,
It’s time to get even

For once in your life,
you get to pick your own fight
You may win, you may lose,
but’s you who gets to choose

I live in London, it’s in the UK
I try to get by, I’m doin OK
I work real hard, I work to play
After all these years,
I got something to say.
Try to be nice,
but take my advice,
Get even.

It’s nice to get up,
it’s good to get down
It’s fun when your vibe,
is all over town
It’s great to be loved,
to have something to believe in
But take it from me,
It’s better to get even

Try to be nice, but take my advice,
Get Even.
