VERSE 1

Look around at this world that we live in,

Taken for granted, all that we're given!

No one seems to give a damn,

If you try to help they'll cut off your hand,

Fuck the world, is what they say,

But we're the ones left with the price to pay!

No one seems to here our cries,

But we'll make them listen, we won't be denied

CHORUS:

The time has come to make a choice,

To take a stand and raise our voices.

In our hands the future lies,

The time is now we must decide.

STAND...STAND UP!...STAND AND BE COUNTED!

VERSE 2:

Politicians they don't seem to care,

Polluted water, cancer filled air!

Handed the challenge to run a nation,

Abusing power, manipulation!

They never quite meet the challenge,

Tip the scales of life in the balance!

Campaign promises, just a lie!,

Sooner or later we'll pay with our lives!

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 3:

Crimes go unpunished, innocents die,

The guilty are laughing while their victims cry.

Lawyers get fat just make sure you pay,

Who cares about justice?, It gets in the way!

"We the people", is it just a lie?

It doesn't have to be, if we try,

Was this how it was supposed to be,

In the land of the brave, the home of the free?

REPEAT CHORUS

STAND AND BE COUNTED TODAY!
