Get Up, Stand Up - Live At The Sundown Theatre, Edmonton, UK / May 1973

Hey, yeah

Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight (stand up for your rights) come on
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight (stand up for your rights)

I say, preacher man, don't tell me heaven is under the earth, yeah
You know I don't know what life is really worth
It's not all that glitter is gold
And half the story has never been told
Now you see the light
Stand up for your rights, eh

Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, and don't give up the fight

Yeah, 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 (your rights)
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights

I say, preacher man, 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
Half the story has never been told
Now you see the light
Stand up for your rights (your rights)

Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, and don't give up the fight
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights (your rights)
Get up, stand up, and don't give up the fight

You see, 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
Now you see the light
Stand up for your rights

Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, and don't give up the fight
Get up, stand up (life is your right), stand up for your rights (don't you dare give up the fight)
Get up, stand up (in the morning), and don't give up the fight (no, no, no)

'Cause if you're sick and tired of the bullshit game
Die and go to heaven in the Jesus' name, yeah
We know and we understand
Almighty God is a living man
You fool some people sometimes
But you couldn't fool all the people all the time
So now you see the light
You better stand up for your rights, yeah

Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, and don't give up the fight
Get up, stand up (in the morning), stand up for your rights (in the night)
Get up, stand up (oh), don't give up the fight

See we're sick and tired of the bullshit game
Die and go to heaven in Jesus' name, yeah
We know and understand
Almighty God is a living man
You fool some people sometimes
But you couldn't fool all the people all the time
So now we see the light
We're gonna stand up for our rights, eh

Get up (get up, get up, get up), stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up (get up, get up, get up), stand up, and don't give up the fight
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up (get up, get up, get up), stand up (life is your right), don't give up the fight (don't give it up now)

Hi too, ayoreo
