lyrics
Stand up, stand up,
You been sitting way too long
v.1
Thieves in the temple
Too much money changing hands
Greed and corruption
Has got it’s grip on this land
Times, they are a changin
And we want equality
Power to the people
It ain’t gonna happen
Till folks like you and me…
(chrous)
Stand up,You been sitting way too long
Step up, You know what’s right and what is wrong
Rise up, Don’t let the system hold you down
Stand up, stand up, you been sitting way to long
v.2
We demand justice
We demand respect
We demand fairness
So take your knee off my neck
Fight for your country
You hold the power in your hand
March for your freedom
Listen to me people
Do you understand we gotta
(Chorus)
