Reasons Not To Be An Idiot
Frank Turner

You're not as messed up as you think you are
Your self absorbtion makes you messier
Just settle down and you would feel a whole lot better
Deep down, you're just like everybody else
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
So why are you sat at home
You're not designed to be alone
You've just got used to saying no
So get up, and get down, and get outside
'Cause 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
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
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
So why are you sat at home
You're not designed to be alone
You've just got used to saying no
So get up, and get down, and get outside
'Cause 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
Amy thinks her 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 in to herself
And it's ok thinking me and my friends are just wasters
The same 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
So why are you sat at home
You're not designed to be alone
You've just got used to saying no
So get up, and get down, and get outside
'Cause 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
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
