Stand for Something

Lyrics

Caught in chains, shackles on too tight Squirmin' for your life because you've gone and lost your freedom Manacles, cut deep when they're too tight You have to break the lock or find the key so you defeat dem Enslaved by the wickedest power We're smashin' up the cells and all the right ones gonna follow Uprisin', we need not the chains And we aren't gonna make the same mistakes again If you want it, you got to rise and take it You gotta wake up, you know you can't contain this Stand for something or you'll fall for anything If you want it, you got to fight for it Wake up, you'll never contain it Stand for something or you'll fall for anything Wolves they creep, out to take the sheep The vulnerable, the easy led, the weak, who will protect dem? Against the wall, now they execute The blind can't lead the blind They always need someone to lead dem Restrained by the evillest power Captive of the chains because these things you've done are so-ah Not surprising, it's all done in vain But you have gone and made the same mistake again If you want it, you got to rise and take it You gotta wake up, you know you can't contain this Stand for something or you'll fall for anything If you want it, you got to fight for it Wake up, you'll never contain it Stand for something or you'll fall for anything Caught in chains, shackles on too tight Squirmin' for your life because you've gone and lost your freedom Manacles, cut deep when they're too tight You have to break the lock or find the key so you defeat dem Enslaved by the wickedest power(x4) Everyday you live, you gotta fight You got to stand your ground If you want it, you got to rise and take it You gotta wake up, you know you can't contain this Stand for something or you'll fall for anything(x3) If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything
