I see their lips move
but all I hear is ***.
They act so natural,
faking crimes they don't admit.
We need action on the street, (Hey!)
movement with our feet. (Hey!)
It's time to shout out loud. (Who-oah!)
It's time to start a movement,
and there's no time like right now!
It's time to get up, get up, get up!
Why don't you stand up, stand up, stand up?
It's time to get up, get up, get up!
Why don't you stand up, stand up?
It's time to start a fight!
Monkey see, monkey do.
But all they see is death.
Electrocute and cut them up;
Watch them take their last breath.
We need action on the street, (Hey!)
movement with our feet. (Hey!)
It's time to shout out loud! (Who-oah!)
It's time to start a movement, (Hey!)
(Hey!) and there's no time like right now!
It's time to GET UP, GET UP, GET UP!
Why don't you STAND UP, STAND UP, STAND UP?
It's time to GET UP, GET UP, GET UP!
Why don't you STAND UP, STAND UP?
IT'S TIME TO START A FIGHT!
([Whooping])
[Trumpet instrumental]
Now I've held my breath so many times
when I'm praying for the tortured souls.
But your souls, they seem to be done for.
Your bodies, they have waged wars.
So what gives them the right
to take your life from you?
Why do they all play God?
Who said that is your job?
It's time to get up, get up, get up.
Why don't you stand up, stand up, stand up?
It's time to GET UP, GET UP, GET UP!
Why don't you STAND UP, STAND UP?
IT'S TIME TO START A FIGHT!
I've heard it's a rat race,
And they race until they're dead. (Get up! Get up! Get up!)
Your pesticides commit homicides.
Slit their throats until they bled! (STAND UP! STAND UP! STAND UP!)
I've heard it's a rat race! (Wooaah!)
They race until they're dead! (Wooaah!)
Your pesticides commit homicides (Wooaah!)
SLIT THEIR THROATS UNTIL THEY BLED!!
Now it's time to start a fight!
