Get Up Songtext
von Goldfinger

I see the lips move, but all I hear is shit
They act so intellectual for 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
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
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

(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)

Well, 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, split their throats until they're bled
(Stand up, stand up, stand up)
I′ve heard it's a rat race (woah-oh), they race until they′re dead
Your pesticides commit homicides, split their throats until they're bled
Now, it′s time to start a fight
