Can anyone tell me exactly why Don Henley could
never leave?

After telling John Grigg that I dont grok the
Eminem song Without Me, about fighting back
when the chips are down, do let me offer this
hit song from my g-g-g-generation, the ultimate
GET UP song, ironically called Angry Young Man,
perhaps an appropriate description of Eminem.

Tell me, is this not the ultimate get back up song?

You see the world through your cynical eyes
You're a troubled young man I can tell
You've got it all in the palm of your hand
But your hand's wet with sweat and your head needs a rest

And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it
How can you be such an angry young man
When your future looks quite bright to me
How can there be such a sinister plan
That could hide such a lamb, such a caring young man

You're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it
Get up! Get UP! Get back on your feet
You're the one they can't beat and you know it
Come on, let's see what you've got
Just take your best shot and don't blow it

You're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're killing yourself if you don't believe it
GET UP, get back on your feet
You're the one they can't beat and you know it
Come on, let's see what you've got
Just take your best shot and don't blow it
