Get Up, Stand Up / No More Trouble / War (Live) Lyrics
Bob Marley
Lyrics
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
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, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight
You see, most people think, great God will come from the skies
Take away everything and make 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
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight
We sick an' tired of your ism-schism 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 couldn't fool all the people all the time
And now we see the light, you stand up for our rights, yeah
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight, don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight, don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight, don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight, don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight, don't give up the fight
Don't give up the fight, don't give up the fight
I say now, don't give up the fight
So we won't give up the fight, so we won't give up the fight
So we won't give up the fight, so we won't give up the fight
So we won't give up the fight, so we won't give up the fight
So we won't give up the fight, so we won't give up the fight
So we won't give up the fight, so we won't give up the fight
So we won't give up the fight, so we won't give up the fight
You see, most people think great God will come from the skies
Take away everything and make 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
Stand up for your rights, stand up for your rights
Stand up for your rights, stand up for your rights
Stand up for your rights, stand up for your rights
Stand up for your rights, stand up for your rights
Stand up for your rights, stand up for your rights
