The Up` by Utopia, from the album Swing to the Right
I can`t stand to watch the six o`clock news
It`s enough to give an average sensitive person the blues
I can`t get it up
I don`t know about commercial appeal
But what you put in your head just can`t help affect how you feel
So let`s keep it up
Prophets of doom try to capture you
They get around like the Asian flu
But they can`t get me
chorus:
Because I go for the up (I`m on the up side)
I look for the up (That down just ain`t my style)
I go for the up
I`m hooked on the up (I`m on the upswing)
I look for the up (I got my sights set high)
I go for the up
What`s the point of standing out in the rain
What`s the sense in looking down it just gives your shoulders a pain
I can`t get it up
It`s a self-fulfilling prophesy
If you look for the worst, then that`s just what it turns out to be
So keep looking up
The fickle finger just may point your way
It touches someone different every day
But it can`t touch me
chorus
And everybody`s yelling at me to get back into line
And they say I`m crazy
But still they have their sessions
Of deep depressions
But it can`t get me
