Get A Life Lyrics

you can't tell me that you don't know who you are / it's there from the start / it comes with the package / any attempt that you make to escape this / useless and unnecessary make up your mind / make it up as you go / make it the truth / make it what you already know she said that's not what she said / unthink the things in your head / it's justa white that you red / Chris went right over their heads you can't be anything / you can't be nothing / you can't be anything / you can't be nothing / you can't be anything / you can't be nothing / you can't be anything / you can't be nothing / you can't be anything / you can't be nothing / you can't be anything if you can't be nothing

This song is about coming to terms with who you are as a person. Not falling victim to conformity and being comfortable with who you are.

Cover art for Get A Life lyrics by Built to Spill

I think this is kind of about people trying to be all deep and stuff when they really don't know what they're talking about. They're just foolin themselves. "Unthink the things in your head. It's just what you read. Christ went right over their heads" you're just spitting out what you just took in, your'e not really thinking it. You're making a big deal out of nothing. 'Who am I?' is just a stupid question, because there is no real answer. No one is anything, you just are.
