STAND UP

When you get up late for work in the morning And somebody's broken into your car Makes you feel like killing, maybe you'd be willing But you don't have to take it that far Stand up, kick the cat and stand up Cos when things grind you down You can't fight 'em sitting down Stand up You catch your girl making love with the postman And they're doing it in your very own bed She says he's giving her a letter I think you should forget her And go out with her sister instead Stand up, say “who cares” and stand up Don't go crying on the floor, just throw them out the door And stand up Every now and then boy, you gotta take it on the chin It's just another sympton of the world we're living in Every day's a battle, sometimes you're gonna bruise But if you let it get you down you lose Stand up, stand up Sunday morning you relax with the papers All week long you been working so hard Then you can't believe what you're seeing on the page About a road they're gonna build through your yard Stand up, shout about it stand up You don't have to beg them please Don't go down on your knees stand up Do everything that you can, you got to make a plan stand up If they're gonna tread on you make 'em think before they do Stand up, stand up Stand up you gotta Stand up, stand up you gotta Stand up, stand up
