Can’t Stand

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Smoke in the sunrise, dark in the dawn Night after long night, the hard lines are drawn If you won't choose a side, I know which side you're on If you can't stand for right, man, you just stand for wrong [Verse 2] Blood of my bad blood born deep down in me Bred to be blind to Black blood on these streets If you won't call it out, don't you dare call it free If you can't stand for right, man, you can't stand for peace [Verse 3] Centuries broken wide open in pain Your neighbor's in danger and your silence to blame If you won't call it out, I know which side you take If you can't stand for right, man, you just stand for hate [Verse 4] Smoke in the sunrise, dark in the dawn Night after long night, the hard lines are drawn If you won't choose a side, I know which side you're on If you can't stand for right, man, you just stand for wrong If you can't stand for right, man, you just stand for wrong If you can't stand for right, man, you just stand for wrong [Verse 5] Lost in the old world, American dream Pledge your allegiance Oh say, can't you see All the violence that lies in these secrets we keep If you can't stand to change, man, you can't stand with me
