Lyrics

Get up, stand up
Stand up for your right
Get up, stand up
Did you hear?
Stand up for your right
One more time
Get up, stand up
Did you hear?
Don't give up the fight
You get up, you stand up
Stand up for your right
You get up, you stand up
Don't give up the fight
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your right
You get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight
You get up, stand up
Stand up for your right
You get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight
Sick and tired of your ism-schism
Dy'n' and go to Heaven in-a ism-schism
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
Now you see the light
So stand up for your rights
Uh-woah (uh-woah)
Uh-woah, yo-yo-yo
Woah-yo (woah-yo)
Woah-yo, yo-yo-yo
(Woah-yo, yo-yo-yo)
Woah-yo (woah-yo)
Woah-yo, yo-yo-yo
(Woah-yo, yo-yo-yo)
Woah-yo (woah-yo)
Woah-yo, yo-go-yo-yo
(Woah-yo, yo-yo-yo)
Children stand up for your right
Stand up for your right
Stand up for your right
Stand up for your right
Most people think
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 you see the light
You stand up for your right
Get up, stand up
Did you say?
Stand up for your right
One more time
Get up, stand up
Did you hear?
Don't give up the fight
You get up, stand up
One more time
Stand up for your right
Did you say?
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight
'Cause I'll never give up the fight
'Cause I'll never give up the fight
'Cause I'll never give up the fight
'Cause I'll never give up the fight
Woah-yo (woah-yo)
Woah-yo, yo-yo-yo
(Woah-yo, yo-yo-yo)
Woah-yo (woah-yo)
Woah-yo, yo-go-yo-yo
(Woah-yo, yo-yo-yo)
Woah-yo (woah-yo)
Woah-yo, yo-yo-yo
(Woah-yo, yo-yo-yo)
Woah-yo (woah-yo)
Woah-yo, yo-yo-yo
(Woah-yo, yo-yo-yo)
Woah-yo (woah-yo)
Woah-yo, yo-go-yo-yo
(Woah-yo, yo-go-yo-yo)
Woah-yo (woah-yo)
Woah-yo, yo-yo-yo
Here comes the preacher oppression
Unruly quality, ay
Wipe away transgression, said the captain
Written by: Bob Marley, Peter Tosh
