Stand Up

Can't you understand my dilemma?
I'm a man, the same as you
I walk the same lines, suffered all the wounds
45 years of putting up with you
I just don't know
And I ain't got a clue

But somebody has gotta stand up
Wake up
Rise up
Stand up to you

I just want to start, with my situation
I've been seen as cruel and unkind
I'm here to tell you they got it all wrong
People try to treat me
Like I don't belong
I don't know why (why, why)
You treat me like you do

Somebody's gotta stand up
Wake up
Rise up
Stand up to you

I just won't respect
I don't want a hand down
Do you see me? Like I see you
You don't know me
You don't know a thing
But you tell me to just shut up and sing
You just don't know (You just don't know)
And you don't got a clue

Somebody's gotta stand up
Wake up
Rise up
Stand up to you

Somebody's gotta stand up (stand up)
Wake up (wake up)
Rise up (rise up)
Stand up to you (to you)
