Song Description

imploring people to stop being apathetic

Lyrics

Sittin' there right where you are
'cause the road to hoe is just too hard
From your wishing chair, sigh & complain
If you don't stand up, you're gonna stay that way

Where you live, well that's your home
Not a fortress, not a dome
All tucked in, don't'cha feel so safe
'cause if you don't stand up, it won't stay that way

What's it gonna take for you
To do the thing you need to do
Step outside, take a look around
You're the one, shouts & shrugs
Argues with the one-eyed bug
If no one hears you, do you make a sound?

Wanna know why, well this ain't new
If they come for me, they'll come for you
Bound with lies, glued in place
& if you don't stand up, it's gonna stay that way

Who you love & where you go
How they get the things they know
If you don't decide, you decide it all
What's it gonna take for you
To do the thing you need to do
Blessed are the ones who get involved

Sittin' there right where you are
'cause the road to how is just too hard
From the wishing chair, sigh & complain
If you don't stand up, you're gonna stay that way
Well if you don't stand up, it's gonna stay that way
