Stand for Something

Caught in chains, shackles on too tight Squirming for your life Because you've gone and lost your freedom Manacles cut deep when they're too tight You have to break the lock or find the key, so you can defeat them Enslaved by the wickedest power We're smashing up the cells and all the right ones gonna follow Uprising, we need not the chains, and we aren't gonna make the same mistakes again If you want it, you got to rise and take it You got to wake up, you know you can't contain this Stand for something, or you'll fall for anything If you want it, you got to fight for it Wake up, you'll never contain it Stand for something, or you'll fall for anything Wolves, they creep out to take the sheep The vulnerable, the easy led, the weak Who will protect them? Against the wall, now they execute The blind can lead the blind They always need someone to lead them Restrained by the evilest power Captive of the chains because these things you've done are sour Not surprising, it's all done in vain But you have gone and made the same mistake again If you want it, you got to rise and take it Got to wake up, you know you can't contain this Stand for something, or you'll fall for anything If you want it, you got to fight for it Wake up, you'll never contain it Stand for something, or you'll fall for anything, no Caught in chains, shackles on too tight Squirming for your life Because you've gone and lost your freedom Manacles, cut deep when they're too tight You have to break the lock or find the key, so you can defeat them Enslaved by the wickedest power, enslaved by the wickedest power Enslaved by the wickedest power, enslaved by the wickedest Every day, you live, you gotta fight You got to stand your ground If you want it, you got to rise and take it Got to wake up, you know you can't contain this Stand for something, or you'll fall for anything If you want it, you got to fight for it Wake up, you'll never contain it Stand for something, or you'll fall for anything Stand for something, or you'll fall for anything If you don't stand for something You'll fall for anything
