If your life's not right, doesn't satisfy you You don't get the breaks like some of us do Better work it out, find where you've gone wrong Better do it soon as you don't have long Get out of sour milk sea You don't belong there Get back to where you should be Find out what's going on there If you want the most from everything you do In the shortest time your dreams come true In no time at all makes you more aware A very simple process takes you there Get out of sour milk sea you don't belong there Get back to where you should be Find out what's going on there Looking for release from limitation? There's nothing much without illumination Can fool around with every different cult There's only one way really brings results Get out of sour milk sea you don't belong there Get back to where you should be Find out what's going on there Get back to where you should be Find out what's going on there Get back, get back, get back Why don't you get back now You don't belong here Get out of here, babe
