There's a time for action and time to speak out
A time to be heard above all the noise
They can't hide the truth any longer
There's a time for action and the time is now
A fight will be heard from all around
They can't hide the truth any longer
'Cause we've all had enough
We've all gotta get up now
'Cause it's time to fight
And we've got the right
And we know what we gotta do
Stand up - Get up! Get up! Get up!
And shout out now
There's a time to fight
When you know you're right
We know what we gotta do
There's power in the people
Power's in their hands
Power in the union for the fighting man
We gotta get up and take a stand
'Cause we've just had enough
There's a sense of justice worth fighting for
It's us against them, with our backs against the wall
They can't hide the truth any longer
'Cause we've all had enough
We've all gotta get up now
'Cause it's a time to fight
And we've got the right
And we know what we gotta do
Stand up - Get up! Get up! Get up!
And shout out now
There's a time to fight
When you know you're right
We know what we gotta do
There's a sense of justice worth fighting for
It's us against them and we'll take 'em all
Power to the people, fighting for a cause
'Cause we've all had enough
(Right now!)
We've all gotta get up now
'Cause it's a time to fight
And we've got the right
And we know what we gotta do
Stand up - Get up! Get up! Get up!
And shout out now
There's a time to fight
When you know you're right
We know what we gotta do
Get up, get up now [x3]
Get up, stand up now
A time for action, a time to speak out - (Get up, get up now)
There's a sense of justice worth fighting for - (Get up, get up now)
Power to the people, fighting for a cause - (Get up, get up now)
There's a time for action, a time to speak out - (Get up, get up now)
Get up, get up, get up you gotta get - (Get up, get up now) [x2]
