Stand Up

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Stripped away of rights our fathers gave us With graves they claimed, and the lives theylost Nowbetrayed by theones they have protected With the slowdecay of the home that's bought [Pre-Chorus] We can't let this go on We've looked away for way too long [Chorus] Stand up for the life you were given Stand up, you know it's right Stand up for the things you believe in Better days and better nights Stand up for the life you were given Stand up, you know it's right Stand up for the things you believe in Better days and better nights [Verse 2] Money's made, at the cost of our reason While the object's blamed for the person's wrong It seems we make these excuses for our problems To take away all the shame is caused [Pre-Chorus] We can't let this go on We've looked away for way too long [Chorus] Stand up for the life you were given Stand up, you know it's right Stand up for the things you believe in Better days and better nights Stand up for the life you were given Stand up, you know it's right Stand up for the things you believe in Better days and better nights [Bridge] When the only solution won't save the day Make a new revolution Show the future the way Shed some light on illusions To keep us safe Make a new revolution Show the future the way Shed some light on illusions To keep us safe [Chorus] Stand up for the life you were given Stand up, you know it's right Stand up for the things you believe in Better days and better nights Stand up for the life you were given Stand up, you know it's right Stand up for the things you believe in Better days and better nights Better nights You better stand up For better days and better nights
