Chorus:
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.
I know you don't know
What life is really worth.
It's not all that glitter is gold;
'Alf the story has never been told
So now you see the light, eh!
Stand up for your rights. Come on!

Chorus

Most people think,
Great God will come from the sky,
Take away everything
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!

Chorus (2x)

We're sick and 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 a hord of people all the time.
So now we see the light (What you gonna do?),
We gonna stand up for our rights! (Yeah, Yeah!)

So you better:
Chorus (3x)
