Stand up for your rights State your independence take a look at what bites Say what you have to say They may not like it but who cares anyway Shout it out shout it loud It's time for action time to stir up the crowd Don't care your type or number Animal or mineral Just don't become a vegetable You don't need to take it anymore They can't hold you down And that's for sure Stand up just forget the money Stand up shake your body and soul Stand up even if they say it's funny Stand up just get out of control Be heard the time is right You got to stand up give it all of your might Give it some give it some more You gotta fight until you even up the score Don't take this don't take that It's time to rise you got to climb up off that mat Speak out you may not get promoted I even heard that sometimes people get demoted You don't need to take it anymore They can't hold you down And that's for sure Stand up just forget the money Stand up shake your body and soul Stand up even if they say it's funny Stand up just get out of control
