| Stand up, we shall not be moved | |
| Except by a child with no socks and shoes | |
| If you've got more to give then you've got to prove | |
| Put your hands up and I'll copy you | |
| Stand up, we shall not be moved | |
| Except by a woman dyin' from the loss of food | |
| If you've got more to give then you've got to prove | |
| Put your hands up and I'll copy you | |
| We still don't understand thunder and lightnin' | |
| Flashback to when we didn't fund the dam | |
| Didn't fund the damn levee? No wonder man | |
| Now, our whole damn city's torn asunder man | |
| Under water but we still don't understand | |
| We see hurricane spills over on the land | |
| Through gaps you couldn't fill with a 100 tons of sand | |
| No, we still don't understand | |
| We've seen planes in the windows of buildings crumbled in | |
| We've seen flames send the chills through London | |
| And we've sent planes to kill them and some of them are children | |
| But still we crumblin' the buildin' | |
| Underfunded but we still don't understand | |
| Under God but we kill like the son of Sam | |
| But if you feel like I feel like about the Son of Man | |
| We will overcome | |
| So stand up, we shall not be moved | |
| Except by a child with no socks and shoes | |
| If you've got more to give then you've got to prove | |
| Put your hands up and I'll copy you | |
| Stand up, we shall not be moved | |
| Except by a woman dyin' from the loss of food | |
| If you've got more to give then you've got to prove | |
| Put your hands up and I'll copy you | |
| I said, "Put your hands up and I'll copy you" | |
| Put your hands up and I'll copy you | |
| If you've got more to give then you've got to prove | |
| Put your hands up and I'll copy you | |
| We shall not be moved | |
| Except by a child with no socks and shoes | |
| Except by a woman dyin' from the loss of food | |
| Except by a freedom fighter bleedin' on a cross for you | |
| We shall not be moved | |
| Except by a system that's rotten through | |
| Neglectin' the victims and orderin' the cops to shoot | |
| High treason, now we, need to prosecute | |
| So Stand up, we shall not be moved | |
| And we won't fight a war for fossil fuel | |
| It's times like this that you want to plot a coo | |
| Put your hands up and I'll copy you | |
| Stand up, we shall not be moved | |
| Unless we're takin' a route we have not pursued | |
| So if you've got a dream and a lot to do | |
| Put your hands up and I'll copy you | |
| I said, "Put your hands up and I'll copy you" | |
| Put your hands up and I'll copy you | |
| If you've got a dream and a lot to do | |
| Put your hands up | |
| Now shake, shake, a Polaroid dream | |
| Nightmare negatives develop on the screen | |
| We sit back and wait for the government team | |
| Criticize they but who the fuck are we? | |
| The people want peace but the leaders want war | |
| Our neighbors don't speak, peek through the front door | |
| House representatives preach, ‽Stay the course†| |
| Time for a leap of faith once more | |
| Put your hands up high if you haven't imagined | |
| Hope that the pen strokes stronger than the cannon | |
| Balls to the wall, nose to the grindstone | |
| My interrogation techniques leave your mind blown | |
| Place your bets, let's speak to the enemy | |
| Don't let â€~em pretend that we seek blood | |
| And who's we anyways, Kemo Sabe? | |
| Mighty warlord, wannabe street thug | |
| A threat for a threat leaves the whole world terrified | |
| Blow for blow never settles the score | |
| Word for word is time, need, clarify | |
| We the people did not want war | |
| So stand up, we shall not be moved | |
| Except by a child with no socks and shoes | |
| If you've got more to give then you've got to prove | |
| Put your hands up and I'll copy you | |
| Stand up, we shall not be moved | |
| Unless were takin' a route we have not pursued | |
| So if you've got a dream and a lot to do | |
| Put your hands up and I'll copy you | |
| I said, "Put your hands up and I'll copy you" | |
| Put your hands up and I'll copy you | |
| If you've got a dream and a lot to do | |
| Put your hands up |
| Stand up, we shall not be moved | |
| Except by a child with no socks and shoes | |
