Get Up, Stand Up (Vocal: Peter Tosh) Songtext
von Bob Marley & The Wailers

Get up, stand up
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

Oh, 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 glitter is gold, and half the story has never been told
So, now you see the light
You 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
Stand up for your right
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your right

And I say, most people think that great God will come from the sky
Take away everything, and make everybody feel high
But if you know what life is worth
You would look for yours on earth
And now you see the light, I want you to stand up for your right, hey

Get up, stand up
Stand up for your right
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight
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 bullshit game
To die and go to heaven in a Jesus' name
We know and we understand
Almighty God is a living man
You fool some people sometimes, yeah
But you can′t fool all the people all the time
'Cause now we see the light
We gonna stand up for our right

Get up, stand up
Stand up for your right
Get up, stand up
Don′t give up the fight
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your right, yeah
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight

Get up, stand up
Stand up for your right
Get up, stand up
Don′t give up the fight
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your right
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight

Get up, stand up
Stand up for your right
