Stand Up Lyrics by Chris Webby
Lately I've been contemplating
Watching humans tear apart
This fucking
planet
Like they've never heard of moderation
The people running
things
Ain't worried about no conservation
Unless there's money in the
conversation
But what happens when the soil is too toxic?
For the plants
to grow
And all our drinking water is polluted
All I know is humans are the cancer of the planet
Forecast: lots of global
warming with a chance of snow
Hoping things will change
But I doubt they
ever will
Mother nature dying
While we yelling drill, baby drill
So in
turn the world's heating up,
Climate change creeping up
Hell, at least
those folks at Exxon made a decent buck
Carbon footprints on the world
That'll never wash away
While the ones
in charge of it
Ignoring what we got to say
Still we got to try,
All we
got is you and I
Put your mother fucking fists in the sky,
Come and
Stand up, stand up
If you gonna fight for what you believe
Stand up,
stand up,
If you ain't falling
For what they teaching
Stand up, stand
up,
If any time your back's up against the wall
Stand up, stand
up,
Take away my freedom,
You'll give me the reason to stand up
I don't dabble much in things that are political
But it ain't hard to
see
That half these politicians running shit
Are criminals
They way we
written history
Is strictly fictitiously
Still they try tricking
me,
Telling me that I'm living free
Now keeping quiet
While they take
away our freedoms
And the mainstream media decides
What you'll be
seeing
So I'm skeptical of everything,
Don't know what to believe in
Cause they lying to us right under our noses
And we know it
But there's
nothing we can do to control it
And it's got me losing sleep
Cause I'm
seeing shit different
Than when I was younger
Watching world
hunger
While the economy's going under
Too caught up in reality shows and
cell phones
Eatin' food full from the GMO's to say
I've had enough of all
these lies
All we got is you and I
Put your fucking fists up in the
sky
Come and
Stand up, stand up
If you gonna fight for what you believe
Stand up,
stand up,
If you ain't falling
For what they teaching
Stand up, stand
up,
If any time your back's up against the wall
Stand up, stand
up,
Take away my freedom,
You'll give me the reason to stand up
See now we've got these countries beefin' with us,
On some World War III
shit
Things about to change,
You'd be blind not to see this
Civil
unrest the greatest country in the west
Bout' to crumble like the Roman
Empire, nonetheless
Our oceans full of plastic,
And the air is full of
chemicals
While we let it happen like it's consensual
But fuck
that
Educate yourselves
And don't fall
For what they been
tellin'
Just tell them to throw there fist in the sky
And start a
rebellion
Stand up, stand up
If you gonna fight for what you believe
Stand up,
stand up,
If you ain't falling
For what they teaching
Stand up, stand
up,
If any time your back's up against the wall
Stand up, stand
up,
Take away my freedom,
You'll give me the reason to stand up
