Reasons Not To Be An Idiot Tab

by Frank Turner


Pretty rad song
and I think i got it down so yeah thought I'd post it
:)

VERSE 1


You're not as messed up as you think you are

Your self-absorption makes you messier
                                                  
Just settle down and you will feel a whole lot better
                                        
Deep down you're just like everybody else

VERSE 2


She's not as pretty as she thinks she is

Just picture her after she's had kids
                                            
I bet she sits at home and listens to The Smiths
                                      
Deep down she's just like everybody else

CHORUS

                    
So why are you sat at home?
                               
You're not designed to be alone
                             
You just got used to saying "no"

So get up and get down and get outside
                        
Cos it's a lovely sunny day
                        
But you hide yourself away
                              
You've only got yourself to blame
                                 
Get up and get down and get outside

VERSE 3


He's not as clever as he likes to think

He's just ambitious with his arguing
                                                  
He's crap at dancing, yeah and he can't hold his drink
                                     
Deep down he's just like everybody else

VERSE 4


I'm not as awesome as this song makes out

I'm angry, underweight and sketching out
                                            
I'm building bonfires on my vanities and doubts
                                  
To get warm just like everybody else

Repeat the CHORUS ^

MIDDLE

                                   
Amy thinks that life is lacking in drama
                                               
So she fell for horoscopes, faith-healing and karma
                                       
She's so wrapped up in her invisible armour
                         
She'll never grow into herself
                                                      
And it's OK thinking me and all my friends are just wasters
                                                         
But saying that I can still see through her heirs and graces
                                              
I bet she's scared her life won't leave any traces
                          
Caught up like everyone else
                      
That's not the point anyway
                                         
Oh darling, I felt compelled to call you up to say...

Repeat the Chorus

OUTRO

Get up and get down and get outside

Get up and get down and get outside
               
Get up and get down and get outside
             
Get up and get down and get outside
                                
Get up and get down and get outside
