Lyrics

(Cm)Get up, stand up,

stand up for your right.

Get up, stand up,

stand up for your right.

Get up, stand up,

stand up for your right.

Get up, stand up,

stand up for your right.

Preach er man, don’t tell me heav en is un der the earth.

I know you don’t know what life is real ly worth.

Is not all that glit ters is gold?

And half the sto ry has nev er been told.

So now you see the light, aay, stand up for your right.

Come on, (Cm)Get up, stand up,

stand up for your right.

Get up, stand up,

stand up for your right.

Get up, stand up,

stand up for your right.

Get up, stand up,

stand up for your right.

Preach er man, don’t tell me heav en is un der the earth.

I know you don’t know what life is real ly worth.

Is not all that glit ters is gold?

And half the sto ry has nev er been told.

So now you see the light, aay, stand up for your right.

Come on, stand up for your right.

So you’d bet ter get up, stand up,

stand up for your right.

Get up, stand up,

don’t give up the fight.

Get up, stand up,

stand up for your right.

Get up, stand up,

don’t give up the fight.
