Get It Right

(album: Beats From A Single Drum - 1986)

I bet you thought you had us beaten
I bet you thought you had it made
I'm in a day giving you the world
And there's gonna be some changes made

I'm gonna shake it up, turn it 'round
(Got to get it right)

You had your chance now we're taking over
Cause we want the changes now
Leaving answers to the questions
Gonna call it people power

I'm gonna shake it up, turn it 'round
(Got to get it right) hey, gotta get it right over here
(Turn it 'round)
(Got to get it right) you listening
(Got to get it right)

And tell the world, put a smile on your face
Put a dancing rhythm in your feet
Spread the word of the new revelation
To everybody that we meet

I'm gonna shake it up, turn it 'round
(Got to get it right) hey, gotta get it right
(Turn it 'round)
(Got to get it right) you hear me
(Got to get it right) yeah, let's do it right this time

Got to get it right
Ain't fooling around, you know

(Got to get it right)
We're running out of air
Cause they're chopping down the trees
We're running out of places to swim
Cause they're dirtying up the sea
I can feel a smile on my face
And feel an itchiness in my feet
Telling me, telling me
Take it to the streets, yeah shake it up

(Got to get it right) ha ha ha, yeah
(Got to get it right) ain't fooling around, listen
I'm gonna shake it up, turn it 'round
(Got to get it right)
Shake it up (turn it 'round)
(Got to get it right) yeah, gotta get it right
(Got to get it right) yeah, say it after me
(Turn it 'round) let me hear you
(Got to get it right)
(Got to get it right I want to hear it
(Got to get it right) yeah
(Got to get it)
(Got to get it right)
