Get Up
Rising Against Illusions: Conrad Taylor's Anthem of Resilience
Lyrics
Those one percenters
Those who belong to the top one percent of wealth and power
They pretend to care
They pretend to show concern or interest
They pretend to love you
They pretend to have affection for you
It's the notion that something can happen to anyone
It's the belief that unexpected events can affect anyone
But I know
The speaker acknowledges the falsehood of these pretenses
All of this is untrue
The speaker asserts the lack of truth in these behaviors
One more day
Repetition emphasizing the desire for more time, possibly denoting a sense of urgency or repetition in life
One more week
-One more day
-One more week
-One more day
-One more week
-One more day
-One more week
-Get Up
Repetition of "Get Up" signifies a call to action, encouragement to rise or take action despite circumstances

-Those one percenters
Referring again to the elite wealthy class
They fly around the world
They travel extensively across the globe
They pretend to strive so hard
They pretend to work hard or put in effort
It's the notion that something can happen to anyone
Reiterating the notion of unforeseen events affecting anyone
But I know
The speaker's awareness that good things don't necessarily come to those who wait passively
Good things don't come to those that wait
Repetition of "Get Up" with an emphasis on the rhythm of life and the call to action
One more day
-One more week
-One more day
-One more week
-One more day
-One more week
-One more day
-One more week
-Get Up
-In all of life there is a rhythm
-All things living carry out this tune

Continued emphasis on the call to action, possibly representing persistence or determination despite challenges
