The Revivalists - Stand Up Lyrics

And I should've been murdered by now
And I've got fifteen people wondering how the hell'd he make it out
I carry this bucket of pain
And I've got 18 dollars to my mother-fucking name
And it's not a life it's a game
And I'm a two-ton wrecking ball filled with pain
And I've got a lot to say
And I'm still feeling good from yesterday

So stand up if you're out in the crowd
Get down, make the doctor proud
Stand up, if you're out in the crowd
Get down, make the doctor proud

Well I don't know everything
But I sure wish I did
Then every time I'd catch a case
I wouldn't pop off so much at the lid
I'd have my get out of jail card
Popped cool and ready to go
And then I'd pay my tax and bail money
'Cause I'm a tax paying fool
So we gotta

Stand up if you're out in the crowd
Get down, make the doctor proud
Stand up, if you're out in the crowd
Get down, make the doctor proud
Stand up
Get down
Stand up
Get down

He's a little boy with a son and a daughter
Got no wife no he's got no father
He's just trying to make it through this hard hard winter
Toes freezing no reason he's got no dinner
He's a product of the music
A product of his time
A product of addiction in a very long line
Of users and abusers who just couldn't keep it straight
Oh man I wish I didn't know one
I hope it ain't too late
So won't you call your mama
Call your daddy, you can call your sister too
'Cause we've been out here walking that hard line
You never ever could've made it through

And now we're seven hundred billion strong
We still can't tell right from wrong
So I'm gonna keep on dreaming until the cows come home
When drug store America starts taking care of their own
Start taking care of their own
Yeah yeah
So we gotta

Stand up if you're out in the crowd
Get down, make the doctor proud
Stand up, if you're out in the crowd
Get down, make the doctor proud
Stand up
Get down
Stand up
Get down

Oh you gotta stand up
Ooh yeah

We've got nowhere to go
Stand up, ooh yeah
I'm living for this feeling
I've got nowhere to go
Stand up, ooh yeah
Living for this feeling
We've got nowhere to go
Stand up
