get up lyrics

I see their lips move
But all I hear is shit
They act so intellectual
But they do crimes they don't admit

We need action in the street
Moving with the feet
It's time to shout out loud
It's time to start a movement
And there's no time like right now

It's time to get up, get up, get up
Why don't you stand up, stand up, stand up?
It's time to get up, get up, get up
Why don't you stand up, stand up?
It's time to start a fight

Monkey see, monkey do
But all they see is death
Electrocute and cut them up
Watch them take their last breath

We need action in the street
Moving with the feet
It's time to shout out loud
It's time to start a movement
And there's no time like right now

It's time to get up, get up, get up
Why don't you stand up, stand up, stand up?
It's time to get up, get up, get up
Why don't you stand up, stand up?
It's time to start a fight

But I've held my breath so many times
When I'm playing for the tortured souls
But your souls, they seem to be done for
Your bodies, they have waged wars

So what gives them the right
(What gives them the right?)
To take your life from you?
Why do they all play God
Who said that is your job?

It's time to get up, get up, get up
Why don't you stand up, stand up, stand up?
It's time to get up, get up, get up
Why don't you stand up, stand up?
It's time to start a fight

I've heard it's a rat race
And they race until they're dead
(Get up, get up, get up)
Your pesticides commit homicides
Slit their throats until they bled
(Stand up, stand up, stand up)

I've heard it's a rat race
And they race until they're dead
Your pesticides commit homicides
Slit their throats until they bled

Now it's time to start a fight
