Get Out
Go Betty Go Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're not quite sure what time it was
You didn't know quite what you've done
All you know is you've got a gun
You gotta get out-get out

She called you in a rush
Your girl screaming about the gun
Telling you to call it off
You gotta get out-get out

Look boy you gotta get away now
The friends you had set you up
I told you from the very start
Don't get yourself all involved
And not they set you up.

You know you've been set up
You know they set you up

He used to come by every night
Smoke out and watch the fight
Two years he led the lie
You gotta get out-get out

Dead boy you gotta make a break now
(they're headed for your place)
The guy you trust set you up
(You know they had you all along)
I told you from the very start
(It's true)
Don't get yourself all involved
(You did)
And now they set you up
You know you've been set up
You know they set you up

If there was something on your mind
When catching twitches in his eyes




Deep down inside was it all wrong?
You knew they had you all along.
