Get up stand up, stand up for your right Get up stand up, don't give up the fight 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 Stand up for your right Get up stand up, stand up for your right Get up stand up, don't give up the fight Most people think Great God will come from the sky Take away everything And make everybody feel high But if you knew what life is worth You could look for yours on earth And now you've seen the light Stand up for your rights Get up stand up, stand up for your right Get up stand up, don't give up the fight We're sick and tired of your easing kissing Gone to die and go to heaven in Jesus name We know and 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 And we've seen the light We're gonna stand up for our rights
