Stand Up Lyrics - Fight With Tools - Flobots

Stand up 

We shall not be moved 

Except by a child with no socks and shoes 

If you've got more to give than you've got to prove 

Put your hands up and I'll copy you 

Stand up 

We shall not be moved 

Except by a woman dying from a loss of food 

If you've got more to give than you've got to prove 

Put your hands up and I'll copy you 

We still don't understand thunder and lightning 

Flashback to when we didn't fund the dam 

Didn't fund the damn levee 

No wonder man 

Now our whole damn cities torn us under man 

Underwater but we still don't understand 

We see hurricane spills overrun the land 

Through gaps you couldn't fill with a hundred tons of sand 

No we still don't understand 

We've seen planes in the windows of buildings 

Crumbled in 

We've seen flames sending chills through London 

And we've sent planes to kill them 

And some of them are children 

But still we crumble under buildin' 

Underfunded but we still don't understand 

Under God but we kill like the son of Sam 

But if you feel like I feel about the son of man 

We will overcome 

Stand up 

We shall not be moved 

Except by a child with no socks and shoes 

If you've got more to give than you've got to prove 

Put your hands up and I'll copy you 

I said put your hands up and I'll copy you 

Put your hands up and I'll copy you 

If you've got more to give than you've got to prove 

Put your hands up and I'll copy you 

We shall not be moved 

Except by a child with no socks and shoes 

Except by a woman dying from a loss of food 

Except by a freedom fighter bleeding on the cross for you 

We shall not be moved 

Except by a system that's rotting through 

Neglecting the victims and ordering the cops to shoot 

High treason now we need to prosecute 

So stand up (Stand up) 

We shall not be moved 

And we wont fight a war over fossil fuel 

Times like this that you want to plot a coup 

Put your hands up and I'll copy you 

Stand up (Stand up) 

We shall not be moved 

Unless we are taking a route we have not pursued 

So if you've got a dream and a lot to do 

Put your hands up and I'll copy you 

I said put your hands up and I'll copy you 

Put your hands up and I'll copy you 

If you've got a dream and a lot to do 

Put your hands up 

Now shake, shake a Polaroid dream 

Nightmare negatives develop on the screen 

We sit back and wait on the government team 

Criticize they but who the f**k are we 

The people want peace 

But the leaders want war 

Neighbors don't speak peak through the front door 

House representatives preach stay the course 

Its time for a leap of faith 

Once more 

Put your hands up high if you haven't imagined 

Hope that the pen strokes higher than the cannon 

Balls to the wall nose to the grindstone 

My interrogation techniques leave ya mind blown 

Places your bets lets peak to the enemy 

Don't let them pretend that we seek blood 

And whose we anyway kimosabai 

Mighty warlord want to be street thug 

A threat for a threat leaves the whole world terrified 

Blow for blow never settles the score 

Word for word its time to be clarified 

We the people did not want war! 

So stand up (Stand up) 

We shall not be moved 

Except by a child with no socks and shoes 

If you've got more to give than you've got to prove 

Put your hands up and I'll copy you 

Stand up (Stand up) 

We shall not be moved 

Unless we are taking a route we have not pursued 

So if you've got a dream and a lot to do 

Put your hands up and I'll copy you 

I said put your hands up and I'll copy you 

Put your hands up and I'll copy you 

If you've got a dream and a lot to do 

Put your hands up
