Get Up

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I see their lips move But all I hear is shit They act so intellectual But they do crimes they don't admit [Pre-Chorus] We need action in the street (Hey!) Movin' with our feet (Hey!) It's time to shout out loud (Woah-oh) It's time to start a movement And there is no time like right now [Chorus] It's time to get up, get up, get up Why don't you stand up, stand up, stand up? It's time to get up, get up, get up Why don't you stand up, stand up? It's time to start a fight [Verse 2] Monkey see, monkey do But all they see is death Electrocute and cut them up Watch them take their last breath [Pre-Chorus] We need action in the street (Hey!) Movin' with our feet (Hey!) It's time to shout out loud (Woah-oh) It's time to start a movement (Hey! Hey!) And there's no time like right now [Chorus] It's time to get up, get up, get up Why don't you stand up, stand up, stand up? It's time to get up, get up, get up Why don't you stand up, stand up? It's time to start a fight [Interlude] Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! [Horn Solo] [Bridge] But I've held my breath so many times When I'm prayin' for the tortured souls But your souls, they seem to be done for Your bodies, they have waged wars So what gives them the right (What gives them the right) To take your life from you? Why do they all play god? Who said, "That is your job"? [Chorus] It's time to get up, get up, get up Why don't you stand up, stand up, stand up? It's time to get up, get up, get up Why don't you stand up, stand up? It's time to start a fight [Outro] I've heard it's a rat race And they race until they're dead (Get up, get up, get up) Your pesticides commit homicides Slit their throats until they've bled (Stand up, stand up, stand up) I've heard it's a rat race (Woah-oh) They race until they're dead (Woah-oh) Your pesticides commit homicides (Woah-oh) Slit their throats until they've bled Now it's time to start a fight
