Lyrics

One, two Yeah, get up, stand up Stand up for your right Get up, stand up Stand up for your right Get up, stand up Stand up for your right Get up, stand up Stand up for your right I said, "Preacher man don't tell me" Heaven is under the earth I know you don't know What life is really worth It's not all that glitter is gold Half the story has never been told But now you see the light Stand up for your right, yeah! Get up, stand up (in the morning) Stand up for your right (in the night) Get up, stand up Don't give up the fight (What did you say?) Get up, stand up Stand up for your right Get up, stand up Don't give up the fight You see, most people think The great God will come from the sky Will take away everything And make everybody feel high But if you know what life is worth You would look for yours on earth And now that you see the light (Didn't you know?) Stand up for your right, c'mon Get up, stand up Stand up for your right Get up, stand up Don't give up the fight I said, "get up in the morning" (stand up) And get up in the evening Stand up for your right Get up, stand up (get up, get up) Don't give up the fight (get up, get up) We're sick and tired of the bullshit thing To die and go to heaven in Jesus' name We know and we understand Almighty God is a living man You can fool some people sometimes (What did you say?) But you can't fool all the people all the time So now we see the light We're gonna stand up for our right So you'd better get up, stand up Stand up for your right Get up, stand up (in the morning) And don't give up the fight I said, "get up, get up, get up" Get up, stand up Stand up for your right Get up, stand up (get up, get up, stand up) Don't give up the fight (don't give up) Preacher man don't tell me Heaven is under the earth See, I know you don't know What life is really worth It's not all that glitter, it's not gold I said, "Half the story, never been told" But now you see the light You'd better stand up for your right, yeah! Get up, stand up Stand up for your right Get up, stand up (in the morning) Don't give up the fight Get up, stand up (life is your right) Stand up for your right (No, you can't give up the fight) Get up, stand up (get up, get up, get up) Don't give up the fight Yeah, you see We're sick, and we're tired of the bullshit game To die and go to heaven in Jesus' name We know, and we know and we understand Almighty God is a living man (almighty God) You can fool some people sometimes (Don't stop me) You can't fool all the people all the time (Oh, don't you know?) So now we see the light (don't you know?) You'd better stand up for our right So you'de better get up, stand up Stand up for your right Get up, stand up Don't give up the fight Get up, stand up Stand up for your right Get up, stand up (in the morning) (Get up in the evening) Don't give up the fight Don't give up Don't give up Don't give up Don't give up, don't give up Don't give up the fight Life gonna be your right Get up in the morning The life is around Come back in the evening That means, the dignity is all the fight Get up, stand up (Get up, get up, get up, get up)
