The Get Together Songtext
von Todd Snider

One day a wise young man
Threw down his apron and he said, "I quit"
I′ve been considering the meaning of existing
And I'm pretty sure this ain′t it, huh

So he climbed up the tallest mountain
He sat beneath the tallest tree
Seeking a peace within himself
He waited patiently

It would seem that all was folly
As he focused more and more
Exploring the nature of being
Until he came to its very core


And it was there he became enlightened
And it was then he begun to sob
He said, "Oh shit, I quit my job"

Is everybody ready for the get together? (Is everybody ready?)
Is everybody ready for the get together? (Is everybody ready?)
Is everybody ready for the get together?
Day after forever, oblivion or better
You better get ready

Come on, somebody (you better get ready)
Come on, somebody (you better get ready)
Come on, somebody (you better get ready)
Come on, somebody (you better get ready)
Come on, somebody (you better get ready)
Come on, somebody (you better get ready)

Hey
