FLOBOTS - 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 then 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 then you've got to prove
Put your hands up and I'll copy you

We still don't understand thunder and lightning
Flash back to when we didn't fund the dam
Didn't fund the dam levee? No wonder man
Now our whole damn city's torn asunder man
Under water but we still don't understand
We see hurricane spills overrun the land
Through gaps you couldn't fill with a 100 tons of sand
No we still don't understand
We've seen planes in the windows of buildings crumbled in
We've seen flames send the chills through London
And we've sent planes to kill them and some of them were children
But still we crumbling the building
Underfunded but we still don't understand
Under God but we kill like the son of Sam
But if you feel like I feel like about the son of man
We will overcome

So Stand up
We shall not be moved
Except By a child with no socks and shoes
If you've got more to give then 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 then 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 then 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 a cross for you
We shall not be moved
Except by a system thats rotten through
Neglecting the victims and ordering the cops to shoot
High treason now we need to prosecute

So Stand up
We shall not be moved
And we won't fight a war for fossil fuel
Its times like this that you want to plot a coup
Put your hands up and I'll copy you
So Stand up
We shall not be moved
Unless were 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 for the government team
Criticize they but who the **** are we
The people want peace but the leaders want war
Our neighbors don't speak, peek through the front door
House representatives preach "stay the course"
Time for a leap of faith
Once More

Put your hands up high if you haven't abandoned
Hope that the pen strokes stronger than the cannon
Balls to the wall, Nose to the grindstone
My interrogation techniques leave your mind blown
So Place your bets lets speak to the enemy
Don't let em pretend that we seek blood
And who's we anyways Kemo Sabe?
Mighty warlord wanna-be street thug
a threat for a threat leaves the whole world terrified
blow for blow never settles the score
word for word is time need clarify
We the people did not want war

So Stand up
We shall not be moved
Except By a child with no socks and shoes
If you've got more to give then you've got to prove
Put your hands up and I'll copy you
Unless were 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

Green Day - Longview

Sit around and watch the tube but, nothings on
Change the channels for an hour of two
Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit
Im sick of all the same old ****
In a house with unlocked doors
And Im ****ing lazy

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
Im so damn bored Im going blind !!!
And I smell like ****

Peel me off this velcro seat and get me moving
I sure as hell cant do it by myself
Im feeling like a dog in heat
Barred indoors from the summer street
I locked the door to my own cell
And I lost the key

Sit around and watch the phone, but no ones calling
Call me pathetic, call me what you will
My mother says to get a job
But she dont like the one shes got
When masturbations lost its fun
Youre ****ing breaking

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
Im so damn bored
Im going blind
And loneliness has to suffice
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Slipping away to paradise
Some say, quit or Ill go blind.
But its just a myth

Have actually shed a tear over this one.

Its Been a while...


It's been a while
Since I could...
Hold my head up high
It's been a while
Since I first saw you

It's been a while
Since I could stand on my own two feet again

And it's been a while
Since I could call you

And everything I can remember
As ****ed up as it all may seem
Consequences that I've rendered
Have stretched myself beyond my means

It's been a while
Since I could say that I wasn't addicted

It's been a while
Since I could say I loved myself as well and...

It's been a while
Since I've gone and ****ed things up
Just like I always do

It's been a while
But all that **** seems to disappear when I'm with you

And everything I can remember
As ****ed up as it all may seem
Consequences that I've rendered
Gone and ****ed things up again... again

Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day

It's been a while
Since I could...
Look at myself straight

It's been a while
Since I said I'm sorry

It's been a while
Since I've seen the way candles light your face

It's been a while
But I can still remember just the way you taste

Everything I can remember
As ****ed up as it all may seem
To me... I know this pain
Can I blame this on my father?
He did the best he could for me

It's been a while
Since I could...
Hold my head up high

It's been a while
Since I said I'm sorry
