Stromkern Stand Up (Extended Mix) Lyrics

[Chorus 1]
Now the people on the left let me hear you say
That you're sick of them lies and you're not gonna to take it.
Now the people on the right, ain't no time to waste.
Gonna to start if off now, bring it on now, bring another.
People in the front, let me see those hands up.
Stand up and demand some answers
What! C'mon, can you hear me in the back?
If you can't, let them know when we turn up the tracks.
So c'mon.

(They're addicted to power, and they're addicted to war.
They're addicted to war and they can't break the habit.
It should prevail. It could be drugs.)

This is a song dedicated to the lost,
Triggered by guilt and endebted by a holocaust
Well you prayed for daylight and it never came
So you better start praying again
Well it's not a psychosis and it's not a relief
And it's nothing that's certain and it's not a belief
It's a just a subtle pact to maintain the illusion.
You want a solution.
We want a revolution

Well I'll follow; we'll synchronize
So maybe you could find
Another place to retire
That there's so much at hand that I don't understand
That circumstances demand that we all better take a stand
Give in once, well you're giving in twice
Giving them freedom is like you're giving them life
But they can't keep a secret 'cause they know that they're wrong
And then they keep us down because we're too d___ strong

[Chorus 1]
Now the people on the left let me hear you say
That your sick of them lies and you're not gonna take it.
Now the people on the right, ain't no time to waste,
Gonna to start if off now, bring it on now, bring another
Now the people in the front, let me see those hands up,
Stand up and demand some answers
What! C'mon, can you hear me in the back.
If you can't, let them know when we turn the tracks.
So c'mon.

Well an enemy yours is an enemy mine
And I'm just not sure if I'm wasting your time
If I could see the inertia I'd give it a try
But I gotta project or I gotta deny
Nothing is wrong here but something ain't right.
I don't feel this. I'm not seeing this.
Something ain't happening. Plus I got a feeling
Don't make a sound. Keep your eyes on the ceiling

Touch automatic. I know I use to have it.
And I wanted to let it go but wishing won't make it so
Nothing's gonna see you when the chips are down
Nothing's gonna save you if you don't act now
But the current effect is like a curdling sound
The effect hyphothetical
Better remember that the action on the trigger is just a state of your mind
And the action of reaction is just a matter of time.

[Chorus 2]
Now the people on the left let me see your faith.
I want to start of slow then we'll pick up the pace
Now the people on the right ain't no time to waste,
been a long time coming but you'll hit the ground runnin'
Now the people in the front, let me see those hands,
Cause it's so far gone I'm not surprised no one understands
What! Turn it up. Can you hear me in the back?
Right now is when we testify so we can never die.
Right now is when we testify so we can never die.

So we all pretend we're oblivious.
Perfectly serious.
Tell me that you needed this.
Never know what you're gonna find
Never know what you might have left undefined
I can tell you what it won't be
Another web of confusions
Of lies and illusions
You can't imagine the half of them
Petrified
Genocide
Masterminds
Worlds that they've undermined
It's a place. It's a time. It's a lifeline.
It's a chance to atone for a life time
Put your hands to the sky when you testify
Put 'em up. Keep 'em up 'til you realize
Killing them wasn't like killing them twice
Killing with something that's a killing device
If it's killing you slowly like your killing them nice
If it's killing you're after, well, a reich

[Chorus 1]
Now the people on the left let me hear you say
That your sick of them lies and you're not going to take it.
Now the people on the right, ain't no time to waste,
Gonna to start if off now, bring it on now, bring another
People in the front, let me see those hands up,
Stand up and demand some answers
What! C'mon, can you hear me in the back.
If you can't, let them know when we turn up the tracks.
So c'mon.

[Chorus 2]
Now the people on the left let me SEE your faith.
I want to start of slow then we'll pick up the pace
Now the people on the right ain't no time to waste,
been a long time coming but you'll hit the ground runnin'
Now the people in the front, let me see those hands,
Cause it so far gone and that's a price no one understands
What! Turn it up. Can you hear me in the back?
Right now is when we testify so we can never die.

[Chorus 2]
Now the people on the left let me HEAR your faith
I want to start of slow then we'll pick up the pace
Now the people on the right ain't no time to waste,
been a long time coming but you'll hit the ground runnin'
Now the people in the front, let me see those hands,
Cause it so far gone and that's a price no one understands
What! Turn it up. Can you hear me in the back?
Right now is when we testify so we can never die.
Right now is when we testify so we can never die
