[Verse 1]
When you're walking down the street
No one sees a V.I.P, i.e. genius artist of our time
Well I'll be the first on line to say

I get it, I get it, I get it
I get it, I get it, I get it
I get it, I get it, I get it

[Verse 2]
I've been waiting for so long to see your face
I tried this one time and there was a huge line
And now we're standing in this very small space
You never worry about getting rain on your brain
Getting sun on your fun
Getting sleet on your feet
Cause today's the day

I get it, I get it, I get it
I get it, I get it, I get it

Très bien
Très bien
Très bien
Très bien
[Bridge]
All the critics tend to blast you
Dumb ideas will outlast you
Money's gone, you've got no grants
I'll push your work with my bare hands

[Outro]
Because they will try to convince us that we have arrived
That we are already there, that "it" has happened
Because we need to live in the place where we are truly alive
Present, safe, and accounted for
Because we refuse to allow our writing, songs, art, activism
And political histories to be suppressed or stolen
Because we refuse to be embarrassed about the mistakes
And faults, and choose to move forward
With a political agenda bent on freedom of all

I get it, I get it, I get it
I get it, I get it, I get it

(Très bien)

I get it, I get it, I get it
I get it, I get it, I get it
I get it, I get it, I get it
I get it, I get it, I get it
I get it, I get it, I get it
I get it, I get it, I get it
I get it, I get it, I get it
I get it, I get it, I get it
I get it, I get it, I get it
I get it, I get it, I get it
