Stand Up Songtext
von The Dead 60s

a brand new day your blood runs cold
another 24 hours old
a stab in the back before you get told
you′ll never get out
and these four walls are caving in
this daily grind don't mean a thing
wake to the sound of alarms ringing
it′s gonna get you

and you get shot down on a one way track
you're waiting to burn out there's no turning back
if everything should break down and fall
stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up
can′t get a grip can′t handle it all
stand up, stand up, stand up
stand up for your man


and you've been knocked down so many times before
still walking down the same old corridors
you′ll end up lying on a stone cold floor
if you never get out
and all you got is coins and paper
and all the things that'll never make you
you can pay the price but sooner or later
it′s gonna get you

and you get shot down on a one way track
you're waiting to burn out there′s no turning back
if everything should break down and fall
stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up
can't get a grip can't handle it all
stand up, stand up, stand up
stand up for your man

and as you face your final stand
when you′ve given everything you can
just to see it slip right through your hands
it′s gonna get you

and you get shot down on a one way track
you're waiting to burn out there′s no turning back
if everything should break down and fall
stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up
can't get a grip can′t handle it all
stand up, stand up, stand up
stand up for your man
