Lyrics of Get Up Stand Up - Live At The Stanley Theatre, 9/23/1980 by Bob Marley & The Wailers

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
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
You stand up for your right
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
Most people think
Great God will come from the sky
Take away everything
Make-a 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
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
We sick an' tired of your ism-skism game
Dyin′ 'n′ goin' to heaven in-a Jesus' name
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
Stand up for your rights
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
We sick an′ tired of your ism-skism game
Dyin' ′n' goin′ to heaven in-a Jesus' name
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
Stand up for your rights
Stand up for your right
Stand up for your right
Stand up for your right
Stand up for your right
Stand up for your right
Stand up for your right
Stand up for your right
Stand up for your right
Stand up for your right
Stand up for your right
Stand up for your right
Writer(s): Bob Marley, Peter Tosh
