Get Up Stand Up (Live At the Stanley Theatre - 9/23/1980) - Bob Marley & The Wailers

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: don't give up the fight

Preacher man don't tell me,

Heaven is under the earth

I know you don't know

What life is really worth

It's not all that glitters is gold

Half the story has never been told

So now you see the light, eh!

You stand up for your right

Come on!

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

Most people think

Great God will come from the sky,

Take away everything

And make-a everybody feel high

But if you know what life is worth,

You will look for yours on earth

And now you see the light,

You stand up for your rights, jah!

Get up, stand up (Jah, jah)

Stand up for your right (Oh, hoo)

Get up, stand up (Get up, stand up)

Don't give up the fight (Life is your right)

Get up, stand up (So we can't give up the fight)

Stand up for your right (Lord, Lord)

Get up, stand up (Keep us struggling on)

Don't give up the fight, yeah

We sick an' tired of your ism-skism game

Dyin' 'n' goin' to heaven in-a Jesus' name, Lord

We know when we understand

Almighty God is a living man

You can fool some people sometimes,

But you can't fool all the people all the time

So now we see the light (What you gonna do?)

We gonna stand up for our rights (Yeah, jah, jah!)

So you better

Get up, stand up (In the morning, get it up)

Stand up for your right (In the night)

Get up, stand up

Don't give up the fight (Don't give it up, don't give it up)

Get up, stand up (Get up, stand up)

Stand up for your right (Get up, stand up)

Get up, stand up (Don't be a nigger in your neighborhood, yeah)

Don't give up the fight (Get up, stand up)

Get up, stand up (I don't think that should be very good, Lord) (Get up, stand up)

Stand up for your right (Get up, stand up)

Get up, stand up (I said, don't be a nigger in your neighborhood, yeah)

Don't give up the fight
