Screaming Souls: Music

Stand Up

(Barry Kingston and the Screaming Souls)
reaching out to the ones with the smiles on their face
while they're soaking up our rivers and soaking up our seas
reaching out to the one who have the power change
the ones who say they'll get it done then sit back and let it be

stand up stand up and be counted
stand up stand up and be counted

hey there mr. business man how does your wallet grow
black gold and texas tea and oil fields all in a row
better look out for yourself after the last hole is done
the price you're gonna pay ain't worth the wrong you've done

stand up stand up and be counted
stand up stand up and be counted

people got the power the power to the people got the power to change
people got the power the power to the people got the power to change

let me tell you one thing there's something on my mind
help me understand why we can't see eye to eye
maybe it's not your cause, maybe it's not your problem
maybe it's 'cause you know I can't see that low

so who amongst the crudest man will stand up and resign
the politics of pompousness the politics of greed
who amongst the crudest man will stand up and align
I'm reaching out to you because we're almost out of time

stand up stand up and be counted
stand up stand up and be counted
