Get up stand up, stand up for your right

Get up stand up, don't give up the fight



Preacher man don't tell me

Heaven is under the earth

I know you don't know

What life is really worth

It's not all that glitters is gold

Half the story has never been told

So now you see the light

Stand up for your right



Get up stand up, stand up for your right

Get up stand up, don't give up the fight



Most people think

Great god will come from the sky

Take away everything

And make everybody feel high

But if you knew what life is worth

You could look for yours on earth

And now you've seen the light

Stand up for your rights



Get up stand up, stand up for your right

Get up stand up, don't give up the fight



We're sick and tired of your easing kissing

Gone to die and go to heaven in jesus name

We know and we understand

Almighty god is a living man

You can fool some people sometimes

But you can't fool all the people all the time

And we've seen the light

We're gonna stand up for our rights
