Get Up, Stand Up (for Barack) Lyrics:

Chorus:
Get up stand up, now is time to rock
Get up stand up, stand up for Barack
Get up stand up, stand up for Barack

Verse 1:
McCain he tell me, we're gonna have a 100 yr. war
I know he don't know, what life is really for
Is not all that glitters is oil and half the story has never been told
It's not just pretty talk, oh, we're gonna stand up for Barack

Verse 2:
Some people think, hope is just a word~ Our voices cry out, never to be heard
But if you know what life is worth, you will help to save our earth
It's not just pretty talk, we're gonna stand up for Barack

Verse 3:
We're sick and tired of health care games,
rich and poor should be treated the same
We know when we understand, when you spread fear across our land
'cause you can fool some people sometimes,
but you can't fool all the people all the time
It's not just pretty talk, we're gonna stand up for Barack

Last Chorus:
Get up stand up, stand up for a change
Get up stand up, got to beat McCain

Hey Horta, Go ahead and sit down & shit while the rest of us work for a change! GO OBAMA!!

[ethiopianworld]

Its a shame that Bob Marley's main inspiration, the Conquering Lion of Judah: HAILE SELASSIE I, the Elect of God, the King of Kings of Ethiopia - the Abba - Father of the Rastafari is always ignored and thus the truth is ONLY half-told... nevertheless, thanks for the video and we think its worth watching. H.I.M. was the one who warned the world about the threat of Fascism, promoted Education and uttered the WAR speech before the powers that be. He's the stone that the builder's rejected (ps 118)

Hey @peaveyblazer158 did you know you insult someone by not spelling his name right?

[kanesloane]

How's this:

* Included funding for "green" jobs in the stimulus bill

* Initiated first steps to develop a legally-binding treaty to reduce mercury emissions worldwide

* Dedicated more than $60 billion for clean energy

* Instituted "cash for clunkers," getting more fuel efficient cars on the street

* Acknowledges reality of climate change and his desire to work on an international policy like Kyoto

You think you could at least spell his name right? PBlazer?

[peaveyblazer158]

why do people like you try to insult people like me its pointless don't get angry at me but i see no reason to like oboma yet he got the peace prize in a time of war why that makes sense no no it doesn't so what do you have to make me like him prove me wrong what has he changed or done for the better ???has he been honest

[123quinterra]

When did Obama apologize to any of his " enemies " ?? The great thing about Obama is he's making friends world wide. The only enemies he's making is the dumb people like you!

[123quinterra]

It's not a joke. Real change for the better is happening whether you like it or not. Who's oboma any way? I know an Obama. Go ahead and sit down and don't get in our way!

[peaveyblazer158]

im sorry but is this a joke i cant see my self standing up for oboma.. ever no thanks

[iamzbacku]

'We The People' are standing up in unison in opposition to this Marxist president.

We are shoulder to shoulder in the fight to keep this man from destroying the Constitution of the United States.

Whoa Nelly, to compare him to JFK is unbelievable. JFK wanted a STRONG America. He NEVER apologized to any of our enemies.

[horta85]

I waited 4 month to reply to you Loke Loke.....

How's that" STAND UP AND WORK FOR CHANGE GO OBABA!!! GOING? Last time I checked unemployment hit double digits, businesses are closing, taxes we're given for corporate bail-outs, and trying to push socialized health care with these hard economic times.

Now that's what I call CHANGE!

[sweatintotheoldies]

Now THAT"S FUNNY!!! They are synonymous after all.
