Lyrics

[Chorus]

Get up, stand up

Stand up for your right

Get up, stand up

Stand up for your right

Get up, stand up

Stand up for your right

Get up, stand up

Don't give up the fight

[Verse 1]

Oh, 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

And half that story ain't never been told

So now you see the light

You stand up for your right

[Chorus]

Get up, stand up

Stand up for your right

Get up, stand up

Stand up for your right

Get up, stand up

Stand up for your right

Get up, stand up

Stand up for your right

[Verse 2]

And I say, most people think

A great God will come from the sky

Take away everything

And make everybody feel high

But if you know what life is worth

You would look for yours on earth

And now a-you see the light

I want you to stand up for your rights, aye

[Chorus]

Get up, stand up

Stand up for your right

Get up, stand up

Don't give up the fight

Get up, stand up

Stand up for your right

Get up, stand up

Don't give up the fight

[Verse 3]

Sick and tired of your bullshit game

To die and go to heaven in Jesus name

We know when we understand

Almighty God is a living man

You fool some people sometimes, yeah

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

'Cause now we see the light

We gonna stand up for our right

[Chorus]

Get up, stand up

Stand up for your right

Get up, stand up

Don't give up the fight

Get up, stand up

Stand up for your right

Get up, stand up

Don't give up the fight

Get up, stand up

Stand up for your right

Get up, stand up

Don't give up the fight

Get up, stand up

Stand up for your right

Get up, stand up

Don't give up the fight

Get up, stand up

Stand up for your right
