I see their lips move   But all I hear is shit   They act so intellectual   But they do crimes they don't admit      We need action in the street   Moving with the feet   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 in the street   Moving with the feet   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      But I've held my breath so many times   When I'm playing 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   (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   Slit their throats until they bled   (Stand up, stand up, stand up)      I've heard it's a rat race   And they race until they're dead   Your pesticides commit homicides   Slit their throats until they bled      Now it's time to start a fight
