Preacher man, don't tell me
Heaven is under the earth
I know that you don't know
What life is really worth
He said 'all that glitters is gold'
Half the story, have never been told
So now you see the lights
Stand up for your rights

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

People think that great god
Will come from the sky
Take away everything
Make everybody feel high
If you know what life is worth
You will look right here on earth
And now you see the light
You're gonna stand up for your right

Get up, stand up, stand up for your right
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 ism – schism game
Dying to go to heaven in Jesus' name
We know 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 you see the light
We're gonna stand up for our right
