Chris Webby - Stand Up lyrics

rate me

Lately I've been contemplating

Watching humans tear apart

This fucking planet

Like they've never heard of moderation

The people running things

Ain't worried about no conservation

Unless there's money in the conversation

But what happens when the soil is too toxic?

For the plants to grow

And all our drinking water is polluted

All I know is humans are the cancer of the planet

Forecast: lots of global warming with a chance of snow

Hoping things will change

But I doubt they ever will

Mother nature dying

While we yelling drill, baby drill

So in turn the world's heating up,

Climate change creeping up

Hell, at least those folks at Exxon made a decent buck

Carbon footprints on the world

That'll never wash away

While the ones in charge of it

Ignoring what we got to say

Still we got to try,

All we got is you and I

Put your mother fucking fists in the sky,

Come and

Stand up, stand up

If you gonna fight for what you believe

Stand up, stand up,

If you ain't falling

For what they teaching

Stand up, stand up,

If any time your back's up against the wall

Stand up, stand up,

Take away my freedom,

You'll give me the reason to stand up

I don't dabble much in things that are political

But it ain't hard to see

That half these politicians running shit

Are criminals

They way we written history

Is strictly fictitiously

Still they try tricking me,

Telling me that I'm living free

Now keeping quiet

While they take away our freedoms

And the mainstream media decides

What you'll be seeing

So I'm skeptical of everything,

Don't know what to believe in

Cause they lying to us right under our noses

And we know it

But there's nothing we can do to control it

And it's got me losing sleep

Cause I'm seeing shit different

Than when I was younger

Watching world hunger

While the economy's going under

Too caught up in reality shows and cell phones

Eatin' food full from the GMO's to say

I've had enough of all these lies

All we got is you and I

Put your fucking fists up in the sky

Come and

Stand up, stand up

If you gonna fight for what you believe

Stand up, stand up,

If you ain't falling

For what they teaching

Stand up, stand up,

If any time your back's up against the wall

Stand up, stand up,

Take away my freedom,

You'll give me the reason to stand up

See now we've got these countries beefin' with us,

On some World War III shit

Things about to change,

You'd be blind not to see this

Civil unrest the greatest country in the west

Bout' to crumble like the Roman Empire, nonetheless

Our oceans full of plastic,

And the air is full of chemicals

While we let it happen like it's consensual

But fuck that

Educate yourselves

And don't fall

For what they been tellin'

Just tell them to throw there fist in the sky

And start a rebellion

Stand up, stand up

If you gonna fight for what you believe

Stand up, stand up,

If you ain't falling

For what they teaching

Stand up, stand up,

If any time your back's up against the wall

Stand up, stand up,

Take away my freedom,

You'll give me the reason to stand up
