I hope the people that hear “Stand Down” interpret this record openly & personalize the message to their day to day lives. My only stand on the current issues of the world is that we are entering a time of spiritua...
[Verse]
New age
Red in the eyes
Life in gangsters paradise
I walk
Right through that fire
Feel so cold but so alive
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't fight for your rights
Fight for your rights
Fight for the life
Fight for the life
This is war
I'm backing down
Once was lost, now I'm found
[Chorus]
Take the love
Take the pain
Bite the bullet
Stand down
Give it up
Play the game
But don't shoot that man down
Hey hey hey hey, hey hey hey hey
Don't shoot just stand down
It's time
Golden days
Hide behind your masquerade
Just be (Just be)
Know your place
Know the love you've grown to hate
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't fight for your rights
Fight for your rights
Fight for the life
Fight for the life
This is war
Start backing down
Lose your guns and find yourself
Don't fight for your rights
Fight for your rights
Fight for the life
Fight for the life
This is war
I'm backing down
Once was lost & now I'm found
[Chorus]
Take the love
Take the pain
Bite the bullet
Stand down
Give it up
Play the game
But don't shoot that man down
Hey hey hey hey, hey hey hey hey
Don't shoot just stand down
[Bridge]
Waking up to misery
Why do we feel the need to stand up?
Stand up
(Up, up)
Waking up to misery
Why do we feel the need to?
Nobody wins
