Story Behind The Song
Well- I spent two months in India. It changed EVERYTHING .. in a good way. In fact, I can't wait until I have a chance to go back.
Song Description
international travel, while not necessarily the easiest thing to arrange, can really broaden one's perspective of the world, of life, and one's self. The idea here is that the one sure way to become a "citizen of the World" is to get out and see it.

Lyrics
Just Get up and Go
then you can never return to the world you know x4
I had finally let myself accept
it was time for a change of scenery, I slept
disagreed, then resolved- I would grab up my balls and ride
to the land, India, where the babas reside
shit was set off on my arrival- just to leave the airport has the makings of a battle for basic survival,
while you gasp for air that's not there,
deviants go berzerk on the road, they really don't care!
People living and dying in ditches,
in the shadows of appalling highrises that reflect riches,
animals, temples of every type
compete for your gaze with ads that overhype
and everywhere, the nonstop press of humanity
with their stares and hassles to drive you closer to insanity!
The dust, the noise, the heat, the smell,
if I was changing for the better, man I sure as hell couldn't tell!
