Stand Up Man Lyrics - The Conells

No silence on the streets, dirty feet, you cannot sleep 

Your taxi is your home 

You want to clean it up, the dirty scum, the filthy bums 

You write when you're alone 

But you cannot close your eyes and time goes on 

And Betsy let you down 

You thought you had it right 

No you wouldn't wait man 

Took the trouble in your own hand 

You wouldn't believe it when she wouldn't leave it 

Stand up man 

So the senator needs a ride, didn't you 

Didn't you imagine if he died? 

The jealous husband met his match, get a gun, darlin' one 

Did you thank him for his cash? 

Your shooting days are done, drive a cab, pay the tab 

Guess the war is won 

No silence on the street, dirty feet, you cannot sleep 

Your taxi is your home 

But you cannot close your eyes and time goes on 

And Iris let you down 

You thought you had it right
