[Verse 1]
Who got stuck with the check?
Who got left at the aisle?
Did they say they burned Capitol Station down?
And then I heard Jennifer died in Rome
They’ll come looking for answers
They might start asking you why
Anyway, I don’t need you to do me favors but
I sure need you, I sure need you to lie
[Chorus 1]
Let’s get it together right now
Let’s get it together somehow
Can we get it together right now?
Can we get it together somehow?
[Verse 2]
Whatever happened to Rico?
You heard what happened to Sly?
Anyway, they all call him Michelle now
And he had a new baby, a little girl Gemini
You got blood on your money
You got some mud in your eye
Anyway, so tell Mara I miss that thing we had
And tell Tara I’m sorry I never tried
[Chorus 2]
To keep it together right now
Just keep it together somehow
Help me keep it together right now
Can we keep it together somehow?
[Bridge]
You know if I come around this way again
It’s gonna be a surprise
She’s putting lipstick on homeless boys in Korea Town
Driving angels down right now
Right now
[Chorus 1]
Let’s get it together right now
Let’s get it together somehow
Can we get it together right now?
Can we get it together right now?

In response to a question on Twitter about why he misgendered ‘Michelle’ in this song, Way wrote:
Michelle' is misgendered in the lyrics because the lyrics are written from the perspective of someone that is ignorant of correct pronouns. This does not represent my perspective, but that of a gossip....
