Lyrics

You see me shrugging my shoulders, shaking my head
Twisting my hips, out dragging my legs
I?m not loosing my mind
Or looking for cover
I?m just wondering if one leg might be shorter than the other
I?m trying to stand up straight
I?m trying to stand up straight

It ain?t some new dance craze
But I wish that it was
Might be the next sensation
Might cause a big fuss
Right now I?m trying to find the right track
From my neck on down to my sacroiliac
I?m trying to stand up straight
I?m trying to stand up straight

What?s that makes you slump in your chair?
Hold your head in a downward stare
All I?d like to do is hold my head up
Without putting my nose in the air

Some days I walk around
With a big smile on my face
I?m proud of myself
And the whole human race
But then I get weary and I start to tip
I got to pull myself together
I got to get myself a grip
I?m trying to stand up straight
I?m trying to stand up straight

Some people find it easy to hold themselves erect
Got no buckle in their knee no crick in their neck
No pain, no shame, no worry, no doubt
I wonder, do they know what I?m talking about?

Is it some bad habit?
Or extra gravity?
That?s twisting my mind
And twisting my body
I won?t let it be said
That I ain?t got no spine
If you see me looking just like
I am starting to unwind
I?m trying to stand up straight
I?m trying to stand up straight
I?m trying to stand up straight
I?m trying to stand up straight
