Yellow flowers descend on me

The stark horizon I can barely see

Told you I'd take care of us

From winding roads and swarming locusts

Oohh

I get up I'll be a useful man

Get up get up be useful man

So pay up a dollar in my hand hand

Wanderlust and follow if you can

Get up get up be useful man

I get up show you a useful man

I don't have the riches dear

This money makes the strongest grow in fear

Yeah

So I'll come to care for us

The blackened chimney cleared of dust

The love we made a pact to keep

From thrones to misled sheep

Now all because you said to me

That you don't care if these bills don't get paid

Oohh

I get up I'll be a useful man

Get up get up be a useful man

So pay up a dollar in my hand

Wanderlust and follow if you can

Get up get up be a useful man

I get up and be a useful

Ooohhh

I get up I'll be a useful man

Get up get up be a useful man

So pay up a dollar in my hand

Wanderlust and follow if you can

Get up get up be a useful man

I get up show you a useful

Somebody truthful

Show you a useful man
