[Verse 1]
Are you solid, are you solid as a rock?
Have you a strong foundation? Can your soul be bought?
It ain't true that everybody's got a price
I sing this song for everyone who stands up for their rights
[Chorus]
Every brother is a star
Every sister is a star
Every brother is a star
Every sister is a star
[Verse 2]
Sister Rosa, Malcolm X, and Dr. King
Showed us we got power, showed what changes we could bring
To change society, you have got to change the law
Their bodies may be gone, but their spirits still live on
[Chorus]
Every brother is a star
Every sister is a star
Every brother is a star
Every sister is a star
[Interlude]
(Rebel souls)
[Verse 3]
For the dreamers, rebel souls, and future days
Be brave and strong, keep keepin' on, be conscious in the chaos
The Queen of England, there's no greater anarchist
One man's freedom fighter is another's terrorist
[Chorus]
Every brother is a star
Every sister is a star
Every brother is a star
Every sister is a star
Every brother is a star
Every sister is a star
Every brother is a star
Every sister is a star

Bobby Gillespie:
Aye, it’s a socialist one. It’s dedicated to everyone who stands up for their rights. Those Liverpool dockers, they’re standing up for their rights but they ain’t getting any help from the so-called Labour Party. They won’t be affiliated with anything working-class or trade union....
