Lyrics
In that small town rumors spread like water
and you can drown in things that ain't been done
that's where I learned about unfair kicks, stones and sticks
and that you just can't be throwing words at anyone
That's where my daddy sat me down upon his knee
and said, son just this once, listen to me
He never gave me bad advice
He said,
chorus:
"Sometimes you gotta stand and fight
to be a man"
I'll stand and fight, til I can't stand
In that small town nothing mattered 'cept a brown eyed girl
and a struggle friday night
Where being cool was every boy's obsession
man we all had dreams that we thought about sometimes
That's where my daddy sat me down upon his knee and said
"son there's only one sure way you can be free.
And if you know your wrong from right"
Repeat chorus
Broken Bones and broken bottles thrown against the classroom wall
and all them teachers, they taught us nothing,
that could ever be of any use at all
Take a Stand!
Repeat Chorus
