Written over a lunch hour, this song debuted at the second round of the Emergenza International Music festival at The Reverb in Toronto on March 17th, 2004. It's one of our faves.
The song started with a hook and then Mark added lyrics and tweaked the music.
It's basically about not letting life's frustrations get to you. It's a song that almost anybody can relate to.
Get It Outta Yer System
Feels like I'm gonna fall
Just walking down the hall
Feels like I wanna run
Like I just gotta get some sun
I'm looking for fortune and fame
I feel the heat from an open flame
I know I shouldn't drink or smoke
But it gives me some kinda hope
Get it outta yer system!
And put it outta yer mind
Get it outta yer system!
And leave it all behind
Get it outta yer system!
And put it outta yer mind
Get it outta yer system!
And leave it all behind
Feel like something is wrong
But I'll keep grooving along
Sometimes it all seems fake
Then I realize there's so much at stake
I can never back down
But I know when I look around
Gotta find a path and see it through
That's about all that I can do
Get it outta yer system!
And put it outta yer mind
Get it outta yer system!
And leave it all behind
Get it outta yer system!
And put it outta yer mind
Get it outta yer system!
And leave it all behind
Now let me go
Oh let me fly
Don't you try to get
inside my messed up mind
You know it could get worse
You might have to send for a nurse
But if you drift into space
Better learn to keep up that pace
Get it outta yer system!
And put it outta yer mind
Get it outta yer system!
And leave it all behind
Get it outta yer system!
And put it outta yer mind
Get it outta yer system!
And leave it all behind
Get it outta yer system!
