Get Up Stand Up Lyrics - Live At My Father's Place 1978 - Peter Tosh

Get up, stand up 

Stand up for your rights 

Get up, stand up 

Don't give up the fight 

Get up, stand up 

Stand up for your rights 

Get up, stand up 

Don't give up the fight 

You, preacher man don't tell me 

Heaven is under the earth 

You a duppy and you don't know 

What life is really worth 

It's not all that glitter is gold 

And half the story has never been told 

So now we see the light 

We gonna stand up for your rights 

Come on, get up, stand up, brother 

Stand up for your rights 

Come on, get up, stand up, sisters 

Don't give up the fight 

Get up, stand up 

Stand up for your rights 

Get up, stand up 

Don't give up the fight 

'Cause you know most people think 

A great God will come from the skies 

And take away every little thing 

And left everybody dry 

But if you know what life is worth 

Then you would look for yours on earth 

And now we see the light 

We gonna stand up for our rights 

Come on, get up, stand up, don't make them push you 'round 

Stand up for your rights 

Come on brothers, get up, stand up 

Be brave now, don't give up the fight 

I say, get up, stand up 

Stand up for your rights 

Don't let them hold you down, get up, stand up 

Don't give up the fight 

We're sick and tired of this game of technology 

Humbly asking Jesus for His mercy 

We know, we know and we understand 

Almighty Jah is a living man 

You fool some people sometimes 

But you can't fool all the people all the time 

And now we see the light 

We gonna stand up for our rights 

Come on, get up, stand up 

Stand up for your rights 

Come on brothers, get up, stand up 

I said, don't give up the fight 

Isaid, get up, stand up 

Stand up for your rights 

Get up, stand up
