Peter Tosh - Get Up, Stand Up

Get up, stand up Stand up for your rights Get up, stand up Don't give up the fight

Get up, stand up Stand up for your rights Get up, stand up Don't give up the fight

You preacher man, don't tell me Heaven is under the earth You a duppy and you don't know What life is really worth

It's not all that glitter is gold And half the story has never been told So now we see the light We gonna stand up for our rights, come on

Get up, stand up (brothers) Stand up for your rights (come on) Get up, stand up (sisters) Don't give up the fight (I'm begging you to)

Get up, stand up Stand up for your rights Get up, stand up (I said) Don't give up the fight

'Cause you know most people think A great God will come from the skies And take away every little thing And left everybody dry

But if you know what life is worth You would look for yours right here on Earth And now we see the light We gonna stand up for our rights, come on

Get up, stand up (don't make them push you 'round) Stand up for your rights (come on brothers) Get up, stand up (be brave now) Don't give up the fight (I say)

Get up, stand up Just stand up for your rights (don't let 'em hold you down) Get up, stand up Don't give up the fight

We're sick and tired of this game of technology Humbly asking Jesus for his mercy We know, we know and we understand Almighty Jah is a living man

You fool some people sometimes But you can't fool all the people all the time And now we see the light We gonna stand up for our rights, come on

Get up, stand up Stand up for your rights (come on brothers) Get up, stand up (I said) Don't give up the fight (don't let 'em push you 'round)

(I say) Get up, stand up Stand up for your rights (come on all sisters) Get up, stand up
