Lyrics
Stand up
I'm trying to get some answers
I'm trying to find a way
Nobody listens to a thing you say
Your logic is flawed
you say I can't do this
We'd rather stay here in ourignorant bliss
The answers that I get
Are just the same old song
We're trying to tell you that your values are wrong
We're in some trouble now
You better get a clue
if you're so smart then won't you tell us what to do
Chorus
Here's what I say
Stand up stand up stand up
If you lie down with dogs you're gonna get up with fleas
Stand up stand up stand up
If you don't stand up now you'll be down on your knees
Tomorrow
Verse 2
You've got to pay attention
Or we'll never save the day
Nobody listens to a thing you say
You know We have to do this
We've got to fix this mess
We'd rather stay here in our ignorant bliss
Can't you see the signals
The messages are wrong
That's merely because your values are wrong
We're in some trouble now
You better get a clue
if you're so smart then won't you tell us what to do
