Caught in chains,
Shackles on too tight
Squirming for your life
Because you've gone and lost your freedom
Manacles cut deep when they're too tight,
You have to break the lock or find the key so you can defeat dem
Enslaved by the wickedest power,
We're smashing up the cells and all the right ones gunna follow
Uprising - we need not the chains,
And we aren't gunna make the same mistakes again
If you want it you got to rise and take it,
You go to wake up you know you can't contain this
Stand for something!
Or you'll fall for anything
If you want it you got to fight for it,
Wake up you'll never contain it
Stand for something!
Or you'll fall for anything
Wolves they creep,
Out to take the sheep
The vulnerable, the easy led, the weak,
Who will protect dem?
Against the wall - now they execute
The blind can lead the blind,
They always need someone to lead dem
Restrained by the evillest power
Captive of the chains because these things you've done are so'a
Not surprising - it's all done in vain,
But you have gone and made the same mistake again
If you want it you got to rise and take it,
Got to wake up, you know you can't contain this
Stand for something!
Or you'll fall for anything
If you want it you got to fight for it,
Wake up you'll never contain it
Stand for something!
Or you'll fall for anything
Caught in chains,
Shackles on too tight
Squirming for your life,
Because you've gone and lost your freedom
Manacles cut deep when they're too tight,
You have to break the lock or find the key so you can defeat dem
Enslaved by the wickedest power,
Enslaved by the wickedest power,
Enslaved by the wickedest power,
Enslaved by the wickedest
Everyday you live, you gotta fight,
You got to stand your ground
If you want it you got to rise and take it,
Got to wake up, you know you can't contain this
Stand for something!
Or you'll fall for anything
If you want it you got to fight for it,
Wake up you'll never contain it
Stand for something!
Or you'll fall for anything
Stand for something!
Or you'll fall for anything
If you don't stand for something,
You'll fall for anything
