When you get up late for work in the morning And somebody's broken into your car Makes you feel like killing Maybe you'd be willing But you don't have to take it that far
Stand up, say who cares and stand up Cos when things drag you down You can't take it sitting down Stand up
You catch you girl making love with the postman And they're doing it in your very own bed She says he's giving her a letter, I think you should forget her And go out with her sister instead
Stand up, kick the cat and stand up Don't go crying on the floor, Just kick them out the door And stand up
Every now and then boy You gotta take it on the chin It's just another symptom ofthe world we're living in Everydays a battle, Sometimes you're gonna bruise But if you let it get you down you'll lose Stand up
Sit down
Sunday morning you relax with the papers All week long you've been working so hard Then you can't believe what you've seen on the page About a road they're gonna build through you yard
Stand up, shout about it stand up you don't have to beg them please Don't go down on your knees Stand up If they're gonna tread on you make them think before they do Stand up
