Time to Stand Up - Curly, Straight and the Polar Opposites

An original song played at the Local Mic Night at Mockingbird Roots Music Hall in Staunton, Virginia on 2.10.10
LYRICS:
(Time to) Stand Up

Verse 1

I wake up every morning with a frown on my face
If sadness is a sickness then this world has got a pretty bad case.




Why do we keep pushing and shoving
When this world gets worse every day.
When will people realize
That what they want is not what they need.
And why do people always end up satisfied




With what they've already achieved.

Chorus

I don't know much,
But I know enough




To see when my worlds going down hill.
And I know
That life's to short
To just sit back and let people kill.




And I know it's time to stand up.

Verse 2
Wake up
(You) you my generation.
Get up
And help to mend this nation.
Speak out
You've got a voice I want to hear it.
Stand up
For what you believe in.

Chorus

Bridge




You gotta start up your brains and decide all that you can be.




You cant help sitting down you gotta get up and stand on your feet.
Stand up

Verse 1
Chorus 2
I don't know much,
But I know enough




To see when my worlds going down hill.
And I know
That life's to short




To just sit back and let people kill.
And I know it's time to stand up.




And I know it's time to stand up.
