Can't Stand

Smoke in the sunrise
Dark in the dawn
Night after long night
The hard lines are drawn
If you won't choose a side
I know which side you're on
If you can't stand for right, man
You just stand for wrong

Blood of my bad blood
Born deep down in me
Bred to be blind
To Black blood on these streets
If you won't call it out
Don't you dare call it free
If you can't stand for right, man
You can't stand for peace

Centuries broken
Wide open in pain
Your neighbor's in danger
And your silence to blame
If you won't call it out
I know which side you take
If you can't stand for right, man
You just stand for hate

Smoke in the sunrise
Dark in the dawn
Night after long night
The hard lines are drawn
If you won't choose a side
I know which side you're on
If you can't stand for right, man
You just stand for wrong
If you can't stand for right, man
You just stand for wrong
If you can't stand for right, man
You just stand for wrong

Lost in the old world
American dream
Pledge your allegiance
Oh say, can't you see
All the violence that lies
In these secrets we keep
If you can't stand to change, man
You can't stand with me
