Bob Marley / Get Up Stand Up Songtext
von Bob Marley & The Wailers

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

Preacherman, 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
′Alf the story has never been told
And now you see the light
Stand up for your rights

Get up, stand up. 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. Don't give up the fight)
Get up, stand up. 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. 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 (Get up, stand up)
Stand up for your rights (Stand up for your rights)
Get up, stand up (Get up, stand up)
Don′t give up the fight (Don't give up the fight)
Get up, stand up (Get up, stand up)
Stand up for your rights! (Stand up for your rights)
Get up, stand up (Get up, stand up)
Don′t give up the fight! (Don't give up the fight)

We sick an' tired of-a your ism-skism game (We sick an′ tired of-a your ism-skism game)
Dyin′ 'n′ goin' to heaven in-a Jesus′ name (Dyin' ′n' goin' to heaven in-a Jesus′ name, Lord)
We know when we understand
Almighty God is a living man (Almighty God is a living man)
You can fool some people sometimes
But you can′t fool all the people all the time
And now we see the light
We gonna stand up for your rights


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