[00:10.94] Stand up
[00:11.38] We shall not be moved
[00:12.38] Except by a child with no socks and shoes
[00:14.26] If you've got more to give than you've got to prove
[00:16.47] Put your hands up and I'll copy you
[00:19.07] Stand up
[00:20.85] We shall not be moved
[00:22.06] Except by a woman dying from a loss of food
[00:24.22] If you've got more to give than you've got to prove
[00:26.50] Put your hands up and I'll copy you
[00:28.83] We still don't understand thunder and lightning
[00:31.76] Flashback to when we didn't fund the dam
[00:33.94] Didn't fund the damn levee
[00:35.58] No wonder, man
[00:36.74] Now our whole damn city's torn asunder, man
[00:38.82] Underwater, but we still don't understand
[00:40.84] We see hurricane spills overrun the land
[00:43.50] Through gaps you couldn't fill with a hundred tons of sand
[00:46.39] No we still don't understand
[00:48.67] We've seen planes in the windows of buildings
[00:51.02] Crumbled in
[00:52.24] We've seen flames sending chills through London
[00:53.73] And we've sent planes to kill them
[00:55.81] And some of them are children
[00:57.30] But still we crumble under buildin'
[00:58.51] Underfunded, but we still don't understand
[01:01.03] Under God, but we kill like the Son of Sam
[01:03.67] But if you feel like I feel about the son of man
[01:06.36] We will overcome
[01:08.03] So stand up (Stand up)
[01:10.22] We shall not be moved
[01:11.08] Except by a child with no socks and shoes
[01:13.49] If you've got more to give than you've got to prove
[01:15.11] Put your hands up and I'll copy you
[01:17.64] Stand up (Stand up)
[01:19.16] We shall not be moved
[01:20.67] Except by a woman dying from a loss of food
[01:22.99] If you've got more to give than you've got to prove
[01:25.13] Put your hands up and I'll copy you
[01:27.99] I said put your hands up and I'll copy you
[01:29.98] Put your hands up and I'll copy you
[01:32.77] If you've got more to give than you've got to prove
[01:35.03] Put your hands up and I'll copy you
[01:37.64] We shall not be moved
[01:39.84] Except by a child with no socks and shoes
[01:42.28] Except by a woman dying from a loss of food
[01:44.25] Except by a freedom fighter bleeding on a cross for you
[01:47.59] We shall not be moved
[01:49.38] Except by a system thats rotting through
[01:51.83] Neglecting the victims and ordering the cops to shoot
[01:54.87] High treason now we need to prosecute
[01:56.81] So stand up (Stand up)
[01:58.68] We shall not be moved
[01:59.88] And we wont fight a war for fossil fuel
[02:01.92] Times like this that if you want to plot a coup
[02:04.37] Put your hands up and I'll copy you
[02:06.60] Stand up (Stand up)
[02:07.75] We shall not be moved
[02:09.54] Unless we are taking a route we have not pursued
[02:12.05] So if you've got a dream and a lot to do
[02:14.18] Put your hands up and I'll copy you
[02:16.77] I said put your hands up and I'll copy you
[02:18.95] Put your hands up and I'll copy you
[02:21.68] If you've got a dream and a lot to do
[02:24.17] Put your hands up
[02:25.29] Now shake, shake a Polaroid dream
[02:29.24] Nightmare negatives develop on the screen
[02:31.73] We sit back and wait for the government team
[02:34.19] Criticize they, but who the fuck are we?
[02:37.07] The people want peace, but the leaders want war
[02:39.12] Neighbors don't speak, peak through the front door
[02:41.67] House representatives preach "stay the course"
[02:43.92] It's time for a leap of faith once more
[02:46.77] Put your hands up high if you haven't abandoned
[02:48.80] Hope that the pen strokes stronger than the cannon
[02:51.28] Balls to the wall, nose to the grindstone
[02:54.04] My interrogation techniques leave ya mind blown
[02:56.56] Places your bets, let's speak to the enemy
[02:58.76] Don't let them pretend that we seek blood
[03:01.01] And whose we anyway kimosabai?
[03:03.79] Mighty warlord, wannabe street thug
[03:05.94] A threat for a threat leaves the whole world terrified
[03:08.62] Blow for blow never settles the score
[03:10.88] Word for word its time to be clarified
[03:13.32] We the people did not want war
[03:26.14] So stand up (Stand up)
[03:26.94] We shall not be moved
[03:28.04] Except by a child with no socks and shoes
[03:30.50] If you've got more to give than you've got to prove
[03:32.70] Put your hands up and I'll copy you
[03:34.99] Stand up (Stand up)
[03:36.46] We shall not be moved
[03:37.87] Unless we are taking a route we have not pursued
[03:39.93] So if you've got a dream and a lot to do
[03:42.24] Put your hands up and I'll copy you
[03:44.94] I said put your hands up and I'll copy you
[03:47.02] Put your hands up and I'll copy you
[03:49.87] If you've got a dream and a lot to do
[03:52.39] Put your hands up
[03:53.30]
