Beat Is Up
The trick to happiness is to ignore anything negative you mightFeel about yourselfThat people don't really like you that muchThat you got fat because you are lonelyOr that your parents are going to dieI like to get my coffee with all the little frothy things on the sideAnd I like to put in those little sticksThe trick to freedom is to deny your past regretsQuestionable lovers, lies, drunken weekendsI just like to have a lot of energyMy life demands itEverything's up, all the timeUp, up, up![Chorus]What's the beat? The beat is up, ah!What's the beat? The beat is up, ah!What's the beat? The beat is up, ah!What's the beat? The beat is up, ah!How high? to the sky!What's the beat? The beat is up, ah!What's the beat? The beat is up, ah!What's the beat? The beat is up, ah!SongtexteWhat's the beat? The beat is up, ah!How high? to the sky!People like positive peoplePositivity makes good things happenMy husband doesn't let me buy those tabloid magazines'Cause he says that it makes me fight with him morePills that you mix with wineThat your husband and you aren't having sex anymoreThat you got married for the moneyIt's been positively proved that most top 40 hits have a BPMOf one twenty or moreI definitely like the gin-songAnd the ginko bal-boa?[Chorus]Sometime you picture yourself getting impaledOn an imaginary spike sticking out from over your bedWhen you keep forgetting to call somebody backBut the more time goes by, the less you feel like callingBecause you're embarrassed'Cause it kind makes you freakyAnd you don't want people to think you're freakyEven though you are kind of freakyBut only in the bedroomL-O-LMy mom says I'm really hard on my kidsI don't want them growing up thinkingThat everything's just going to be handed to themThey're going to have to work their asses off, just like I did!You know, we get them up at six in the morningWe're like 'come on! get up! get outta bed!''It's gonna be a great day C'mon! up, up, up!'[Chorus] Aus Songtexte Mania
