Stand Up
When you get up late 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, kick the cat and stand up
Cos when things grind you down
You can't fight 'em 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 sohuld forget her
And go out with her sister instead
Stand up, say "who cares" and stand up
Don't go crying on the floor, just throw them out the door
And stand up
Every now and then boy, you gotta take it on the chin
It's just another sympton of the world we're living in
Every day's a battle, sometimes you're gonna bruise
But if you let it get you down you lose
Stand up, stand up
(SOLO)
Sunday morning you relax with the papers
All week long you been working so hard
Then you can't believe what you're seeing on the page
About a road they're gonna build through your 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
Do everything that you can, you got to make a plan stand up
If they're gonna tread on you make 'em think before they do
Stand up
When you get up late 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, kick the cat and stand up
Cos when things grind you down
You can't fight 'em sitting down
Stand up
You catch you girl making love with the postman
