”Stand Up” -kappaleen lyriikat:
Stand up
Cause you are standing for nothingJust shut up
Cause your words mean nothingEveryone is at each other’s throats
Everyone thinking that they know things that they don’t knowEveryone painting the third coat on the wall of belief
Send me reliefWhen I call the police will they just kill me?
Will they just kill you?
When I call the police will they just protect me cause I’m white skinned too?Every time you talk the system knows
Everywhere you walk the cameras go
Everything I say you already know
Everything in state is about to blow
Way back before Jim CrowWhen I call the police will they just kill me?
Will they just kill you?
When I call the police will they just protect me cause I’m white skinned too?Stand up
Cause you are standing for nothingJust shut up
Cause your words mean nothingEverybody stares like I’m just my gender
But I’m a living soul with my own agenda
Tell me how you are the priest and the prosecution
Tell me how you have a God who loves executionsCorruption in the blue line ripples out
Eruption in the streets bring the few and proud
Attention when the knees fall to the ground
Silently loudWhen I call the police will they just kill me?
Will they just kill you?
When you call the police would they just protect you cause you’re white skinned too?Every day that passes I’m angrier
Every time the cops get a hall pass – build another barrier
Now it’s stereotypical
No I’m not cynical
Political hypocriticalCorruption in the blue line ripples out
Eruption in the streets bring the few and proud
Attention when the knees fall to the ground
Silently loudStand up
Cause you are standing for nothingJust shut up
Cause your words mean nothingIf you walked a mile in my shoes
You’d probably take em off wouldn’t you
If you had to live in my truth
you’d probably tell a lie wouldn’t youWhen I call the police will they just kill me?
Will they just kill you?Stand up
Cause you stand for nothingNothing
You stand for nothingStand up
Cause you stand for nothingJust shut up
Cause your words mean nothingStand up
Cause you stand for nothingJust shut up
Cause your words mean nothing
