Stand Up

I see the fire on the streets where i have been before
I see a bad man in blue knocking at my door
I see poison in their greedy soulless eyes
See their tools, helicopters darken the skies

No one seems to care about what's happening here
Can i scream? i want to shout!
Can we have some beer?
Can take all the hits they give but can't believe their lies
Now i will stand up proud i won't close my eyes!

So i hope for better days
Don't know a thing about the ways
All i can do is sing
But are you even listening?

Take my money take my car still they're destroying everything
Someday which is not far there will be a new beginning
Earth taught me courage as the tree that stands alone
So i could stand up proud and fIght on my own

So i hope for better days
Don't know a thing about the ways
All i can do is sing
But are you even listening?

I don't want to fall for you again

I see the fire on the streets where i have been before
I see a bad man in blue knocking at my door
Can take all the hits they give but can't believe their lies
Now i will stand up proud i won't close my eyes!

So i hope for better days
Don't know a thing about the ways
All i can do is sing
But are you even listening?

Well, are you?
