Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don′t give up the fight!
Preacherman, don't tell me
Heaven is under the earth
What life is really worth
It's not all that glitters is gold
'Alf the story has never been told
So now you see the light, eh!
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!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don′t give up the fight!
Great God will come from the skies
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-hoo!)
Get up, stand up! (Get up, stand up!)
Don't give up the fight! (Life is your right!)
Get up, stand up! (So we can′t give up the fight!)
Stand up for your rights! (Lord, Lord!)
Get up, stand up! (Keep on struggling on!)
Don't give up the fight! (Yeah!)
We sick an′ tired of-a your ism-skism game -
Dyin' ′n' goin' 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! (Yeah, yeah, yeah!)
(We don′t need no more trouble)
'Cause we don′t need no trouble
What we need is love (love)
To guide and protect us on. (on)
If you hope good down from above, (love)
Help the weak if you are strong now. (love)
(We don′t need) We don′t need
trouble (no more trouble) -
no more trouble - no more trouble!
Seek happiness! (...) Oh, ...!
Come on, you all and speak of love. (...)
We don′t need - we don't need no more -
we don′t need - no more trouble -
we don't need no more trouble!
Trouble we don′t need (we don't need)
(We don′t need) Lord, knows! -
we don't need no more war (no more trouble)
That until there no longer
First class and second class
Until the colour of a man′s skin
Is of no more significance
than the colour of his eyes -
