Lyrics
Get Up and Vote
words and music by Roger Salloom
I've got news, news for you,
I got news that you could use.
But you gotta get up, step right up, you gotta stand right up.
People have died for that right.
Some today, maybe some tonight.
So, you gotta get up, step right up, get up and off the ropes.
Don't be complaining that you got no voice
You can't change things, you got no choice.
Don't be laying around with no hope
Get up, get up, get off the ropes.
Don't be a dope, get off the ropes
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oooo, oooo,
Woke up this morning reach for your shoes
instead you get the morning news
headline says someone hurtin? today, what you gonna do?
Someone lied, someone stole, they say revenge is best served cold
So, you gotta get up, step right up, get up and off the ropes.
One foot in front of the other, won?t cost you a dime,
help your sister and brother, reach out reach out reach for the light.
oooo
You've gotta to fight for your rights.
You've got a right to fight for your rights.
truth and reason, kindness, remember to remember rembrance
so, you gotta get up, step right up, get up and off the ropes.
