Lyrics
When you get up late for work in the morning
And somebody's broken into your car
It makes you feel like killing
Maybe you'll be willing
But you don't have to take it that far
Stand up, kick the can and stand up
'Cause when things grind you down
You can't fight 'em sitting down
Stand up, yeah yeah
You catch your girl making love with the postman
And they're doing it in your very own bed
She says he's giving her a letter
I think you should forget her
And go out with her sister instead
Stand up, say who cares and stand up, yeah
Don't go crying on the floor
Just strolling out the door
Stand up, alright
Sunday morning you relax with the papers
All week long you've been working yourself so hard
Then you can't believe what you've seen on the page
About a road they're gonna build through your yard
Lord have mercy
Stand up, shout about it baby, stand up
Don't get down on your knees
You don't have to beg them please
Stand up
Do everything that you can
You got to make a plan
Stand up, alright
If they're gonna sell you
Make you think before they do
Stand up, yeah yeah yeah
Stand up, my my my
You don't have to take it lying down
You don't have to take no messing around
