[Intro]
(KABOOM!)
Get it right, get it right now
Get it right, do it good, get it right now
(KABOOM!)
Get it right, get it right now
Get it right, do it good, get it right now

[Verse 1]
Oh, let's bomb the factory
That makes all the wannabes
Let's burst all the bubbles
That brainwash the masses

[Chorus]
As far as I can tell, it doesn't matter who you are
If you can believe there's something worth fighting for
The colour of an eye, the glory of a sudden view
The baby in your arms, the smile he always shoots at you

[Verse 2]
Believing in nothing
Makes life so boring
So let's pray for something
To feel good in the morning

[Chorus]
As far as I can tell, it doesn't matter who you are
If you can believe, there's something worth fighting for
The colour of an eye, the glory of a sudden view
The baby in your arms, the smile he always shoots at you

[Bridge]
(KABOOM!)
Get it right, get it right now
Get it right, do it good, get it right now
(KABOOM!)
Get it right, get it right now
Get it right, do it good, get it right now
(KABOOM!)
(KABOOM!)
(KABOOM!)
(KABOOM!)

[Verse 3]
Oh doctor, we're dying
There's no use in crying
So live for tomorrow
And do what you have to

[Chorus]
As far as I can tell, it doesn't matter who you are
If you can believe, there's something worth fighting for
The colour of an eye, the glory of a sudden view
The baby in your arms, the smile he always shoots at you

[Outro]
Oh, let's pray for something
To feel good in the morning

In the morning
You're alive, do it good, get it right now
In the morning
You're alive, do it good, get it right now
In the morning
You're alive, do it good, get it right now
In the morning
You're alive, do it good, get it right now
In the morning
You're alive, do it good, get it right now
In the morning
You're alive, do it good, get it right now
In the morning
You're alive, do it good, get it right now

Garbage

Garbage is a Scottish-American Alternative rock band, formed April 8th 1994. Once producer Butch Vig decided to break out of the rock he had been producing ever since Nirvana’s Nevermind, he got together with his college/studio partners Duke Erikson and Steve Marker to write some demos that would basically be remixes in song form. Once someone commented that “it sounds like garbage”, Vig decided to embrace the name. Then they invited Scottish singer Shirley Manson after seeing her on MTV, and the band’s sound was completed with sly, dark and snarky lyrics delivered in a sultry way.

The band’s eponymous debut album was a surprise hit upon release in August 1995, selling more than 4 million copies worldwide. Follow-up Version 2.0 (1998) was equally successful, even receiving a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year. Then the band recorded “The World Is Not Enough” to the eponymous James Bond movie, and the record industry started to bring the band down.

Beautiful Garbage (2001) was barely promoted due to a release too close to the 9/11 attacks, and underperformed at the charts. Fourth album Bleed Like Me (2005) had a troubled production where bandmembers were frequently arguing, and eventually the album’s tour was cut short and Garbage disbanded for 2 years, only regrouped in 2007 to record new tracks for greatest hits compilation Absolute Garbage.
