Get Up Stand Up

Get up, stand up

Stand up for your rights!

Get up, stand up

Don't give up the fight!

Get up, stand up

Stand up for your rights!

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, oh!

Stand up for your rights

Come on!

Get up, stand up

Stand up for your rights!

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 know what life is worth

You will look for yours on earth

And now you see the light

You stand up for your rights

(Jah)

Get up, stand up!

(Jah! jah! )

Stand up for your rights!

(Oh whoa)

(Get up, stand up)

Don't give up the fight!

(Life is your right)

Get up, stand up!

Stand up for your rights!

(Lord, Lord)

Get up, stand up!

(We keep on struggling on)

Don't give up the fight!

(Yeah! )

We sick an' tired of-a

Your ism-skism game

Dyin' to go to heaven

In-a Jesus' name, lord

We know when 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

So now we see the light

(What you gonna do?)

We gonna stand up for our rights!

(Jah, jah)

So you better

Get up, stand up!

(In the morning get it up)

Stand up for your rights!

(In the night)

Get up, stand up!

Don't give up the fight!

(Don't give it up, don't give it up! )

Get up, stand up!

Stand up for your rights!

Get up, stand up!

Don't give up the fight!

Get up, stand up!

(Life is your right)

Stand up for your rights!

Get up, stand up!

Don't give up the fight!

(Jah)
