D.O.A. - Stand Up Now Lyrics

Lordy, lordy, lordy
Hallelujah, sisters and brothers
Have Mercy
This is the reverend Joe Shithead
I have a sermon and a warning for you

The pendulum is swinging like it always does
Right now it's swinging right at us
We got to make it swing back our way
The way of the people
This is what we got to do
We got to throw off this ball and chain
We got to rise up - we got to rise up
We got to rise up and throw off this ball and chain

Stand up now [x2]
We got to - Stand up now [x2]

Sisters and brothers, we got to get rid of this corrupt gang of drug running, death dealing
Freewheeling, contra gate, coke snorting, arms dealing, masters of war
The biggest bunch of bastards since I don't know when
This ain't no way to build a world [x2]

Stand up now
Come on and - Stand up now [x2]
It's time to - Stand up now

These extremists want to take away your right to have an abortion
Your right to pursue happiness and liberty
They want to put God in school
Yeah, God in school
You're gonna lose your constitutional rights
Let me tell ya, you gotta stand up now
Just stand up now

Stand up now
We got to - Stand up now
Come on and - Stand up now
It's time to - Stand up now

Come on - Stand up now
Yeah - Stand up now

It's time to - Stand up now
Yeah - Stand up now
That's right!

Get of your ass - Stand up now
Yea, get of your ass - Stand up now

Hallelujah, sisters and brothers
