Stand Up And Cheer

[Verse 1]
I've been thinking
About what this world is coming to
And so much hope now
We do our best, all we can do
Stand up straight now (Stand up straight)
Chin up, and see it through, yeah
I'm not buying
All the things that they are selling

[Chorus]
Let me sing a message to ya (Stand up)
Let me sing a message to ya (Stand up)
We will sing this message to ya
Tell yourself you must be true, yeah (Stand up)
In the end, you'll still be you
Let me tell you what you've got to do (Stand up)

[Verse 2]
Politician
I know you're wishin' that we [?]
And God's no master
We're attuned to his will
Preacher, teacher (Practice what you preach)
You should learn the golden rule
Prove it to ya
It's not just what you say, it's what you do

[Chorus]
Let me sing a message to ya (Stand up)
Let me sing a message to ya (Stand up)
We will sing this message to ya
Tell yourself you must be true, yeah (Stand up)
In the end, you'll still be you
Let me tell you what you've got to do (Stand up)

Mindless wonder
