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 glitters is gold

Half the story has never been told

So now you see the light, eh

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

Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights

Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight

Most people think

Great God will come from the skies

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

Get up, stand up (Jah, Jah)

Stand up for your rights (oh)

Get up, stand up (get up, stand up)

Don't give up the fight (life is your right)

Get up, stand up (so we can't give up the fight)

Stand up for your rights (lord, lord)

Get up, stand up (keep on struggling on)

Don't give up the fight (yeah)

We sick an' 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 all the people all the time

So now we see the light (what you gonna do?)

We gonna stand up for our rights (yeah, yeah, yeah)

So you better

Get up, stand up (in the morning git it up)

Stand up for your rights (stand up for our rights)

Get up, stand up

Don't give up the fight (don't give it up, don't give it up)

Get up, stand up (get up, stand up)

Stand up for your rights (get up, stand up)

Get up, stand up

Don't give up the fight (get up, stand up)

Get up, stand up

Stand up for your rights

Get up, stand up

Don't give up the fight
