Get Right Lyrics

[Chorus:]
Better get right, before you die
Better get right
Better get right, before you die
Better get right

[Chorus]
Better get right, before you die
Better get right
Better get right, before you die
Better get right


[Verse 1:]
‘Cause you can't take me down with you
Where you're going to
No you can't take me down with you
Where you going to?

[Verse 2]
If I ever (Ever) get stronger than
You could ever
Yeah, forever (Ever) get stronger than
You could ever
Huh, give me a chance

[Chorus:]
Better get right
Better get right

[Instrumental Outro]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

This song is featured only on the ‘Deluxe Edition’ of Reflektor, as the penultimate track;

Much like other, similarly themed, songs on the album, the song addresses life after death, telling the story of someone who wants to ‘get right’ before they die (i.e. rid of their sins so they can go to heaven).

Much of the album addresses myth, particularly myth and speculation around the ‘afterlife’. This track is a short continuation of the ongoing theme itself.
