You Get What You Give by New Radicals

I saw the video for this song the summer of '98. I was in high school and I guess for the people of the same age as me, this is one of the songs that encapsulates that period. It was fun. It was not that reckless (not reckless for me I guess).

I just realized how great the bass lines on this are. After years and years of listening to it.

Wake up kids we got the dreamers disease
Age 14 they got you down on your knees
Souls polite, we're busy still saying please
Friendnemies, who, when you're down ain't your friend
Every night we smash their Mercedes-Benz
First we run; and then we laugh till we cry

But when the night is falling and you cannot find the light, light
You feel your dreams are dying
Hold tight
You've got the music in you

Don't let go
You've got the music in you
One dance left
This world is gonna pull through
Don't give up
You've got a reason to live
Can't forget
We only get what we give

I'm coming home baby You're tops,
Give it to me now

Four a.m. we ran a miracle mile
We're flat broke but hey we do it in style
The bad rich God's flying in for your trial

But when the night is falling
You cannot find a friend, friend
You feel your dream is breaking
Just bend
You've got the music in you

Don't let go
You've got the music in you
One dance left
This world is gonna pull through
Don't give up
You've got a reason to live
Can't forget
We only get what we give

This whole damn world can fall apart
It'll be ok, follow your heart
You're in harms way
I'm right behind
Now say you're mine
You've got the music in you

Don't let go
You've got the music in you
One dance left
This world is gonna pull through
Don't give up
You've got a reason to live
Can't forget
We only get what we give
Don't let go
I feel the music in you,you,you YOU!

Fly ....... high .......!
What's real ....... can't die .......!
You only get what you give

Health insurance rip off lying
FDA big bankers buying
Fake computer crashes dining
Cloning while they're multiplying
Fashion shoots with Beck and Hanson
Courtney Love, and Marilyn Manson
You're all fakes run to your mansions
Come around, we'll kick your ass in!

Don't let go
One dance left
Don't give up
Can't forget
