Stand Up

Stand up, we shall not be moved
Except by a child with no socks and shoes
If youve got more to give then youve got to prove
Put your hands up and Ill copy you
Stand up , we shall not be moved
Except by a woman dyin from the loss of food
If youve got more to give then youve got to prove
Put your hands up and Ill copy you
We still dont understand thunder and lightnin
Flashback to when we didnt fund the dam
Didnt fund the damn levee? No wonder man
Now, our whole damn citys torn asunder man
Under water but we still dont understand
We see hurricane spills over on the land
Through gaps you couldnt fill with a 100 tons of sand
No, we still dont understand
Weve seen planes in the windows of buildings crumbled in
Weve seen flames send the chills through London
And weve sent planes to kill them and some of them are children
But still we crumblin the buildin
Underfunded but we still dont 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 youve got more to give then youve got to prove
Put your hands up and Ill copy you
Stand up, we shall not be moved
Except by a woman dyin from the loss of food
If youve got more to give then youve got to prove
Put your hands up and Ill copy you
I said, 'Put your hands up and Ill copy you'
Put your hands up and Ill copy you
If youve got more to give then youve got to prove
Put your hands up and Ill copy you
We shall not be moved
Except by a child with no socks and shoes
Except by a woman dyin from the loss of food
Except by a freedom fighter bleedin on a cross for you
We shall not be moved
Except by a system thats rotten through
Neglectin the victims and orderin 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 Ill copy you
Stand up, we shall not be moved
Unless were takin a route we have not pursued
So if youve got a dream and a lot to do
Put your hands up and Ill copy you
I said, 'Put your hands up and Ill copy you'
Put your hands up and Ill copy you
If youve 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 **** are we?
The people want peace but the leaders want war
Our neighbors dont speak, peek through the front door
House representatives preach, ‽Stay the course”
Time for a leap of faith once more
Put your hands up high if you havent imagined
Hope that the pen strokes stronger than thecannon
Balls to the wall, nose to the grindstone
My interrogation techniques leave your mind blown
Place your bets, lets speak to the enemy
Dont let â€~em pretend that we seek blood
And whos we anyways, Kemo Sabe?
Mighty warlord, wannabe 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 youve got more to give then youve got to prove
Put your hands up and Ill copy you
Stand up, we shall not be moved
Unless were takin a route we have not pursued
So if youve got a dream and a lot to do
Put your hands up and Ill copy you
I said, 'Put your hands up and Ill copy you'
Put your hands up and Ill copy you
If youve got a dream and a lot to do
Put your hands up
