Stood Up Lyrics - Todd Rundgren

When I found we could have some brains 

I was the first in line, cause we were, like 

Dragging our knuckles along the ground 

(dragging our knuckles along the ground) 

Ever since, I've been convinced that every 

Sacred thought is mine, and you were still 

Dragging your knuckles along the ground 

(dragging your knuckles along the ground) 

Cause I think I'm there, dude (don't get ahead of yourself) 

I think I'm there, dude 

(Already high)

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

And when they asked us who will lead 

I thought it surely must be me 

But I stood up too fast 

(I stood up too fast) 

Because as soon as I was boss 

The next one in line took my head clean off 

Cause I stood up too fast 

(I stood up too fast) 

I was barely in my teens when I decided I was tired 

Of always like dragging my knuckles along the ground 

(dragging my knuckles along the ground) 

So with all due haste I based until I got so freakin wired 

Forgot I was dragging my knuckles along the ground 

(dragging my knuckles along the ground) 

I thought I was there, dude (you'll got ahead of yourself) 

I thought I was there, dude 

Already high 

Photos 

And when they asked for volunteers 

I must have thought they said 'drink beers' 

And I stood up too fast 

(I stood up too fast) 

I can imagine things that can't possibly exist 

And then I add them to an ever-expanding list 

And when I've solved every significant test there is 

Then I'll move on no matter how many clues I've missed 

It's so easy to be smart but it's a struggle to be wise 

You shouldn't be always throwing your weight around 

(always throwing your weight around) 

It's much better to be humble than to have a big hat size 

Or you'll be just begging somebody to take you down 

(begging somebody to take you down) 

And you'll be nowhere, man (you got ahead of yourself) 

And you'll be nowhere, man 

Already high 

And right before your very eyes 

I have ignored my own advice 

Cause I stood up too fast 

(I stood up too fast) 

And nobody has the slightest choice 

But to put up with my droning voice 

When I stood up too fast 

(I stood up too fast) 

: repeat until end:
