Stand up We shall not be moved
|
Except By a child with no socks and shoes
|
If you′ve got more to give then you′ve got to prove
|
Put your hands up and I′ll copy you
|
|
Stand up We shall not be moved
|
Except by a woman dying from a loss of food
|
If you′ve got more to give then you′ve got to prove
|
Put your hands up and I′ll copy you
|
|
We still don′t understand thunder and lightning
|
Flash back to when we didn′t fund the dam
|
Didn′t fund the dam levee? No wonder man
|
Now our whole damn city′s torn asunder man
|
Under water but we still don′t understand
|
We see hurricane spills overrun the land
|
Through gaps you couldn′t fill with a 100 tons of sand
|
No we still don′t understand
|
|
We′ve seen planes in the windows of buildings crumbled in
|
We′ve seen flames send the chills through London
|
And we′ve sent planes to kill them
|
and some of them were children
|
But still we crumbling the building
|
Underfunded but we still don′t understand
|
Under God but we kill like the son of Sam
|
But if you feel like I feel like about the son of man
|
We will overcome
|
|
So Stand up We shall not be moved
|
Except By a child with no socks and shoes
|
If you′ve got more to give then you′ve got to prove
|
Put your hands up and I′ll copy you
|
Stand up We shall not be moved
|
Except by a woman dying from a loss of food
|
If you′ve got more to give then you′ve got to prove
|
|
Put your hands up and I′ll copy you
|
I said Put your hands up and I′ll copy you
|
Put your hands up and I′ll copy you
|
If you′ve got more to give then you′ve got to prove
|
Put your hands up and I′ll copy you
|
|
We shall not be moved
|
Except By a child with no socks and shoes
|
Except by a woman dying from a loss of food
|
Except by a freedom fighter bleeding on a cross for you
|
|
We shall not be moved
|
Except by a system thats rotten through
|
Neglecting the victims and ordering the cops to shoot
|
High treason now we need to prosecute
|
|
So Stand up We shall not be moved
|
And we won′t fight a war for fossil fuel
|
Its times like this that you want to plot a coup
|
Put your hands up and I′ll copy you
|
|
So Stand up We shall not be moved
|
Unless were taking a route we have not pursued
|
So if you′ve got a dream and a lot to do
|
Put your hands up and I′ll copy you
|
I said Put your hands up and I′ll copy you
|
Put your hands up and I′ll copy you
|

|
Put your hands up
|
|
Now shake, shake A Polaroid dream
|
nightmare negatives develop on the screen
|
We sit back and wait for the government team
|
Criticize they but who the fuck are we
|
The people want peace but the leaders want war
|
Our neighbors don′t speak, peek through the front door
|
|
House representatives preach "stay the course"
|
Time for a leap of faith Once More
|
Put your hands up high if you haven′t abandoned
|
Hope that the pen strokes stronger than the cannon
|
Balls to the wall, Nose to the grindstone
|
My interrogation techniques leave your mind blown
|
So Place your bets lets speak to the enemy
|
Don′t let em pretend that we seek blood
|
And who′s we anyways Kemo Sabe?
|
Mighty warlord wanna-be street thug
|
a threat for a threat leaves the whole world terrified
|
|
blow for blow never settles the score
|
word for word is time need clarify
|
We the people did not want war
|
So Stand up We shall not be moved
|
Except By a child with no socks and shoes
|
If you′ve got more to give then you′ve got to prove
|
|
Put your hands up and I′ll copy you
|
So Stand up We shall not be moved
|
Unless were taking a route we have not pursued
|
So if you′ve got a dream and a lot to do
|
|
Put your hands up and I′ll copy you
|
I said Put your hands up and I′ll copy you
|
Put your hands up and I′ll copy you
|
