The seemingly personal nature of the song makes it unsurprising if they did eschew it in live settings. Delivered in a mix of spoken-word and singing, the song was the closest thing to a single on the record.
And hey, what do you know? There was a video! It has always bothered me that the chant repeats only once when the song seems tailor-made for at least a few more repeats.

The sun, ocean, and cosmos build the imagistic single, "Get Up".
Tucker works through primal desires—"Do you think I'm an animal? Am I not? Sing-song guitar-pop turned up alongside plainspoken take-downs of sexism in music, and hints of new wave, girl-groups and Go-Gos mixed cohesively, too with some of their hardest whiplash-rippers.
