FLOBOTS lyrics : "STAND UP"

Stand up
We shall not be moved
Except by a child with no socks and shoes

If you've got more to give then you've got to prove
Put your hands up and i'll copy you
Stand up we shall not be moved

Except by a woman dying from a loss of food
If you've got more to give then you've got to prove
Put your hands up and i'll copy you


We still don't understand thunder and lightning
Flash back to when we didn't fund the dam

Didn't fund the dam levee? no wonder man
Now our whole damn city's torn asunder man
Under water but we still don't understand

We see hurricane spills overrun the land
Through gaps you couldn't fill with a 100 tons of sand
No we still don't understand

We've seen planes in the windows of buildings crumbled in
We've seen flames send the chills through london
And we've sent planes to kill them and some of them were children

But still we crumbling the building
Underfunded but we still don't understand
Under god but we kill like the son of sam

But if you feel like i feel like about the son of man
We will overcome


So stand up
We shall not be moved
Except by a child with no socks and shoes

If you've got more to give then you've got to prove
Put your hands up and i'll copy you
Stand up we shall not be moved

Except by a woman dying from a loss of food
If you've got more to give then you've got to prove
Put your hands up and i'll copy you


I said put your hands up and i'll copy you
Put your hands up and i'll copy you

If you've got more to give then you've got to prove
Put your hands up and i'll copy you


We shall not be moved
Except by a child with no socks and shoes
Except by a woman dying from a loss of food

Except by a freedom fighter bleeding on a cross for you
We shall not be moved
Except by a system thats rotten through

Neglecting the victims and ordering the cops to shoot
High treason now we need to prosecute


So stand up
We shall not be moved
And we won't fight a war for fossil fuel

Its times like this that you want to plot a coup
Put your hands up and i'll copy you
So stand up

We shall not be moved
Unless were taking a route we have not pursued
So if you've got a dream and a lot to do

Put your hands up and i'll copy you

I said put your hands up and i'll copy you

Put your hands up and i'll copy you
If you've got a dream and a lot to do
Put your hands up


Now shake, shake
A polaroid dream

Nightmare negatives develop on the screen
We sit back and wait for the government team
Criticize they but who the $%&^x are we

The people want peace but the leaders want war
Our neighbors don't speak, peek through the front door
House representatives preach "stay the course"

Time for a leap of faith
Once more

Put your hands up high if you haven't abandoned
Hope that the pen strokes stronger than the cannon

Balls to the wall, nose to the grindstone
My interrogation techniques leave your mind blown
So place your bets lets speak to the enemy
Don't let em pretend that we seek blood
And who's we anyways kemo sabe?

Mighty warlord wanna-be street thug
A threat for a threat leaves the whole world terrified
Blow for blow never settles the score
Word for word is time need clarify
We the people did not want war


So stand up
We shall not be moved
Except by a child with no socks and shoes
If you've got more to give then you've got to prove

Put your hands up and i'll copy you
Unless were taking a route we have not pursued
So if you've got a dream and a lot to do
Put your hands up and i'll copy you

I said put your hands up and i'll copy you

Put your hands up and i'll copy you
If you've got a dream and a lot to do
Put your hands up
