Stand Up

Now the people on the left let me hear you say That you're sick of their lies and you're not gonna take it And now the people on the right, ain't no time to waste Gonna start it off now, bring it on now, bring it Now the people in the crowd, let me see those hands up Stand up and demand some answers. What? Come on, can you hear me in the back? If you can't, let 'em know and we'll turn up the track. So come on. (They're addicted to power and they're addicted to war. They're addicted to war and they can't break the habit. It should prevail. It could be drugs.) This is a song dedicated to the lost Triggered by guilt and devoured by the holocaust Well you prayed for daylight and it never came So you better start praying again Well it's not a psychosis and it's not a relief And it's nothing that's certain and it's not a belief It's just a better way to maintain the illusion I want a solution We want a revolution Well I'll follow; we'll synchronize So many confined at one place at one time And there's so much at hand that I don't understand And circumstances demand that we all better take a stand Give in once, well you're giving in twice Giving in three times; like you're giving them light But they can't keep secrets 'cause they know they're wrong And they can't keep us down 'cause we're too damn strong Now the people on the left let me hear you say That you're sick of their lies and you're not gonna take it And now the people on the right, ain't no time to waste Gonna start it off now, bring it on now, bring it Now the people in the crowd, let me see those hands up Stand up and demand some answers. What? Come on, can you hear me in the back? If you can't, let 'em know and we'll turn up the track. So come on. An enemy yours is an enemy mine And I'm just not sure if I'm wasting your time If I could see the inertia I'd give it a try But I gotta project or I gotta deny Nothing is wrong here, but something ain't right I don't feel this; I'm not seeing this Something ain't coming plus I've got a feeling Don't make a sound; keep your eyes on the ceiling It's automatic; I know we used to have it And I wanted to let it go; I wish it would make it so Nothing's gonna save you when the chips are down Nothing's gonna save you if you don't act now But the current event is like a curdling sound The event hypothetical, you'd better remember The action on the trigger's just a state of your mind Any action or reaction is just a matter of time Now the people on the left, let me see your faith I want to start it off slow, then we'll pick up the pace And now the people on the right, ain't no time to waste Been a long time coming, gonna hit the ground running Now the people in the front, let me see those hands 'Cause it's so far gone, I'm not surprised no one understands What! Turn it up can you hear me in the back Fly now so we testify so we can never die Fly now so we testify so we can never die So fine So we all pretend we're oblivious Perfectly serious Tell me that you needed this Never know what you're gonna find Never know what you might have left undefined But I can tell you what it won't be Another web of confusions Of lies and illusions You can't imagine the half of them Petrified Genocide Masterminds Worlds that they've undermined It's a place, it's a time, it's a lifeline It's a chance to atone for a lifetime Reach your hands to the sky when you testify Put 'em up, keep 'em up until you realize Killing them once is like killing them twice Killing with something that's a killing device It's killing them slowly, then it's killing them nice If it's killing your act I want a Reich Now the people on the left let me hear you say That you're sick of their lies and you're not gonna take it And now the people on the right, ain't no time to waste Gonna start it off now, bring it on now, bring it Now the people in the crowd, let me see those hands up Stand up and demand some answers. What? Come on, can you hear me in the back? If you can't, let 'em know and we'll turn up the track. So come on. Now the people on the left, let me see your faith I want to start it off slow, then we'll pick up the pace And now the people on the right, ain't no time to waste Been a long time coming, gonna hit the ground running Now the people in the crowd, let me see those hands 'Cause it's so far gone, I'm not surprised no one understands What! Turn it up, can you hear me in the back Fly now so we testify, so we can never die Fly now so we testify, so we can never die So fine Fly now so we testify so we can never die.
