New Radicals - You Get What You Give

Wake up kids
We've got the dreamers disease
Age fourteen
They got you down on your knees
So polite
You're busy still saying please
Frienemies
Who when you're down ain't your friend
Every night
We smash their mercedes-benz
First we run
And then we laugh 'till we cry
But when the night is falling
And you cannot find the light (light)
If you feel your dream is dying
Hold tight
You've got the music in you
Don't let go
You've got the music in you
One dance left
This world is gonna pull through
Don't give up
You've got a reason to live
Can't forget we only get what we give
Four A. M. We ran a miracle mile
We're flat broke
But hey we do it in style
The bad rich
God's flying in for your trial
But when the night is falling
And you cannot find a friend
You feel your tree is breaking
Just then
You've got the music in you
Don't let go
You've got the music in you
One dance left
This world is gonna pull through
Don't give up
You've got a reason to live
Can't forget
You only get what you give
This whole damn world can fall apart
You'll be ok follow your heart
You're in harms way I'm right behind
Now say you're mine
You've got the music in you
Don't let go
You've got the music in you
One dance left
This world is gonna pull through
Don't give up
You've got a reason to live
Can't forget
You only get what you give
Don't let go
We feel the music in you
Fly high
What's real can't die
You only get what you give
You're gonna get what you give
Just don't be afraid to leave
Health insurance rip off lying fda big bankers buying
Fake computer crashes dining
Cloning while they're multiplying
Fashion shoots for Beck and Hanson
Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson
You're all rich
Run to your mansions
Come on down
We'll kick your asses

"You Get What You Give" is american power pop and alternative rock band New Radicals' biggest hit, and their most successful single from their only studio album, Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too. Released on November 3, 1998, it reached number 36 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number eight on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. The song amassed large amounts of popularity, becoming a defining hit of the late 1990s. The first and second verses focused on political verses, while the third one featured a short diss of Beck, Hanson, Courtney Love, and Marilyn Manson. This was done purposefully by main singer-songwriter Gregg Alexander to see if the media focused on the third verse instead of the first two. He was correct.
