Standing Man Songtext
von Ian Simmonds

All the air, life and all the care
Pleasure, beauty, all the way
Open minds, promising finds
Big hearted kinds, no change
Trust, all the books, lustful long looks
Religions, parties, all the power
Songs, all the music, documenting here today
Songs, all the music, now

All the light, dark and all the right
All the locked up secrets, all the lies
Threes, the fours, numbers on the doors
Good will, humans, all right
The dos and the don′ts, the willies and the won'ts
All the teachers, preachers and protesters
Food, all the water, all the greedy, all today
Food, all the water, all the greedy here today


Who′s arising? Gonna follow?
Over stride
Standing army, standing order
Oh, standing man
Who's arising? Gonna follow?
Over stride
Standing army, standing order
Oh, standing man

All the war, fear of failure
The wanting, spending, all the cuts
Stares, fakes, corruption, all the snakes
The hope, it will change
Booze, dope, ones who can't say no
Drinkers, thinkers, all the dealers
Push away, push away, come back to the day

Who′s a-falling? On a ride?
Oh, out of step
Standing order, standing army
Oh, standing man

Who′s arising? Gonna follow?
Oh, over stride
Standing order, standing army
Oh, standing man
Who's arising? Gonna follow?
Oh, over stride
Standing order, standing army
Oh, standing man


Who′s arising? Gonna follow?
Over stride
Standing army, standing order
Oh, standing man
