Stand Up |
| Stand up We shall not be moved |
| Except By a child with no socks and shoes |
| If you’ve got more to give then you’ve got to prove |
| Put your hands up and I’ll copy you |
| Stand up We shall not be moved |
| Except by a woman dying from the loss of food |
| If you’ve got more to give then you’ve got to prove |
| Put your hands up and I’ll copy you |
| We still don’t understand thunder and lightning |
| Flash back to when we didn’t fund the dam |
| Didn’t fund the damn levi? |
| No wonder man |
| Now our whole damn city’s torn asunder man |
| Under water but we still don’t understand |
| We see hurricane spills over on the land |
| Through gaps you couldn’t fill with a 100 tons of sand |
| No we still don’t understand |
| We’ve seen planes in the windows of buildings crumbled in We’ve seen flames send the chills through London |
| And we’ve sent planes to kill them and some of them were children |
| But still we crumbling the building |
| Underfunded but we still don’t understand |
| Under god but we kill like the son of Sam |
| But if you feel like I feel like about the son of man |
| We will overcome |
| So Stand up We shall not be moved |
| Except By a child with no socks and shoes |
| If you’ve got more to give then you’ve got to prove |
| Put your hands up and I’ll copy you |
| Stand up We shall not be moved |
| Except by a woman dying from the loss of food |
| If you’ve got more to give then you’ve got to prove |
| Put your hands up and I’ll copy you |
| I said Put your hands up and I’ll copy you |
| Put your hands up and I’ll copy you |
| If you’ve got more to give then you’ve got to prove |
| Put your hands up and I’ll copy you |
| We shall not be moved |
| Except By a child with no socks and shoes |
| Except by a woman dying from the loss of food |
| Except by a freedom fighter bleeding on a cross for you |
| We shall not be moved |
| Except by a system thats rotten through |
| Neglecting the victims and ordering the cops to shoot |
| High treason now we need to prosecute |
| So Stand up We shall not be moved |
| And we wont fight a war for fossil fuel |
| Its times like this that you want to plot a coo |
| Put your hands up and I’ll copy you |
| So Stand up We shall not be moved |
| Unless were taking a route we have not pursued |
| So if you’ve got a dream and a lot to do Put your hands up and I’ll copy you |
| I said Put your hands up and I’ll copy you |
| Put your hands up and I’ll copy you |
| if you’ve got a dream and a lot to do Put your hands up Now shake, shake |
| A Polaroid dream |
| nightmare negatives develop on the screen |
| We sit back and wait for the government team |
| Criticize they but who the fuck are we The people want peace but the leaders want war |
| Our neighbors don’t speak, peek thru the front door |
| House representatives preach «stay the course» |
| Time for a leap of faith |
| Once More |
| Put your hands up high if you havn’t imagined |
| Hope that the pen strokes stronger than the cannon |
| Balls to the wall, Nose to the grindstone |
| My interrogation techniques leave your mind blown |
| So Place your bets lets speak to the enemy |
| Don’t let em pretend that we seek blood |
| And who’s we anyways Kemo Sabe? |
| Mighty warlord wanna-be street thug |
| a threat for a threat leaves the whole world terrified |
| blow for blow never settles the score |
| word for word is time need clarify |
| We the people did not want war |
| So Stand up We shall not be moved |
| Except By a child with no socks and shoes |
| If you’ve got more to give then you’ve got to prove |
| Put your hands up and I’ll copy you |
| Unless were taking a route we have not pursued |
| So if you’ve got a dream and a lot to do Put your hands up and I’ll copy you |
| I said Put your hands up and I’ll copy you |
| Put your hands up and I’ll copy you |
| if you’ve got a dream and a lot to do Put your hands up |
