(KABOOM!)
Get it right, get it right now
Get it right, do it good, get it right now
(KABOOM!)
Get it right, get it right now
Get it right, do it good, get it right now

   F#m             A
Oh let's bomb the factory
      D             F
That makes all the wannabes
      F#m            A
Let's burst all the bubbles
       D            A
That brainwash the masses

Chorus:
 A
As far as I can tell
                           D
It doesn't matter who you are
F#m
If you can believe there's something worth
          D
fighting for
     A
The color of an eye
                       D
The glory of a sudden view
    F#m
The baby in your arms
                               D
The smile he always shoots at you

Believing in nothing
Makes life so boring
So let's pray for something
To feel good in the morning

Chorus:
As far as I can tell, it doesn't matter who you are
If you can believe, there's something
worth fighting for
The colour of an eye, the glory of a sudden view
The baby in your arms, the smile he
always shoots at you

(KABOOM!)
Get it right, get it right now
Get it right, do it good, get it right now
(KABOOM!)
Get it right, get it right now
Get it right, do it good, get it right now
(KABOOM!)
(KABOOM!)
(KABOOM!)
(KABOOM!)

Oh doctor, we're dying
There's no use in crying
So live for tomorrow
And do what you have to

Chorus:
As far as I can tell, it doesn't matter who you are
If you can believe,
there's something worth fighting for
The colour of an eye,
the glory of a sudden view
The baby in your arms,
the smile he always shoots at you

Oh, let's pray for something
To feel good in the morning

In the morning
You're alive, do it good, get it right now
In the morning
You're alive, do it good, get it right now
In the morning
You're alive, do it good, get it right now
In the morning
You're alive, do it good, get it right now
In the morning
You're alive, do it good, get it right now
In the morning
You're alive, do it good, get it right now
In the morning
You're alive, do it good, get it right now
