["","Get over it! Get over it!","Victim of this, victim of that","Get over it!","You wallow in the guilt, you wallow in the pain","Let’s kill all the lawyers, kill ’em tonight","","But the big, bad world doesn’t owe you a thing","Get over it!","Get over it!","You don’t wanna work, you wanna live like a king","You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown","All this bitchin’ and moanin’ and pitchin’ a fit","You say you haven’t been the same since you had your little crash","Get over it! Get over it!","It’s like goin' to confession every time I hear you speak","Get over it!","","","They point their crooked little fingers at everybody else","Get over it! Get over it!","Get over it! Get over it!","Some call it sick but I call it weak, yeah yeah yeah","It’s gotta stop sometime so why don’t you quit?","","But you might feel better if they gave you some cash","Get over it!","Get over it!","","I’d like to find your inner child and kick its little ass!","If you don’t wanna play then you might as well split","Got your mind in the gutter, bringin’ everybody down","","","All this whinin’ and cryin’ and pitchin’ a fit","You’re makin’ the most of your losin’ streak","You bitch about the present and blame it on the past","I turn on the tube and what do I see?","Your mama’s too thin and your daddy’s too fat","Spend all their time feelin’ sorry for themselves","Get over it!","Get over it!","Get over it!","A whole lotta people cryin’, ’Don’t blame me’","The more I think about it old Billy was right","Yeah you drag it around like a ball and chain"]

"Get Over It" is a song by the Eagles, released as a single after a fourteen year breakup. It was also the first song written by bandmates Glenn Frey and Don Henley when the band reunited. "Get Over It" was played live for the first time during their Hell Freezes Over tour in 1994, with Henley singing lead vocal on stage and Scott Crago playing the drums.
The song talks about a person who has become fed up with others placing their shortcomings, failures, mental breakdowns, and financial problems on those who don't deserve it, then believing that the world owes them a favor, to which he replies, "the big bad world doesn't owe you a thing," the constant whining, and complaining of others, even to the point of them blaming their present failures on the past, eventually forces the man to state, out loud, "I'd like to find your inner child, and kick its little ass!"
