Get Wise - Lindisfarne

You think you’re outrageous, you just talking too loud

You think you’re a loner, you just one of the crowd

You think you’re a flier, you never been off the ground

You say you’re a seeker, you just looking around

You gotta get wise (open your eyes)

Who gonna wait?

(don't leave it too late)

You gotta realise (you gotta get wise)

You gotta get wise

You think you’re a raver, you don’t go any place

You think you’re so sociable, you’re just a social disgrace

The world owes your favours, I can see it in your face

You think you’re a lion but you’re just a rat in the race

You gotta get wise (open your eyes)

Who gonna wait?

(don't leave it too late)

You gotta realise (you gotta get wise)

You gotta get wise (you gotta get wise)

You gotta get wise (open your eyes)

Who gonna wait?

(don't leave it too late)

You gotta realise (you gotta get wise)

You gotta get wise

The world is a mistress but she’s nobody’s wife

You might own the living but you don’t own the life

And life is forgiving, forgiving is free

This song is for you but it’s also for me

You gotta get wise (open your eyes)

Who gonna wait?

(don't leave it too late)

You gotta realise (you gotta get wise)

You gotta get wise (you gotta get wise)

You gotta get wise

Wise
