Posted on by admin

Coversong written and made famous by Bob Marley and Peter Tosh

Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
Don’t give up the fight
[x2]

You, preacher man don’t tell me
Heaven is under the earth
You a duppy and you don’t know
What life is really worth

It’s not all that glitter is gold
And half the story has never been told
So now we see the light
We gonna stand up for our rights
Come on

Get up, stand up (Brothers)
Stand up for your rights (Come on)
Get up, stand up (Sisters)
Don’t give up the fight (Don’t give up the fight)

(I’m begging you to)
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up
(I say don’t give up the fight) Don’t give up the fight

Cause you know most people think
A great God will come from the skies
Take away everything
And left everybody dry

But if you know what life is worth
Then you would look for yours on earth
And now you see the light
We gonna stand up for your rights
Come on

Get up, stand up (Don’t make the push you ’round)
Stand up for your rights (Don’t let them hold you down)
Get up, stand up
Don’t give up the fight (Don’t give up the fight)

I say get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights (Don’t let them hold you down)
Get up, stand up
Don’t give up the fight (Don’t give up the fight)

We’re sick and tired of this game of technology
Humbly asking Jesus for his mercy
We know, we know and we understand
Almighty Jah is a living man

You fool some people sometimes
But you can’t fool all the people all the time
And now we see the light
We gonna stand up for our rights
Come on

Get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights (Come on now brothers)
Get up, stand up
Don’t give up the fight (I say don’t give up the fight)

(Don’t let them push you ’round)
I say get up, stand up
Stand up for your rights (Come on now sisters)
Get up, stand up
Don’t give up the fight (I say don’t give up the fight)

Coversong written by Nick Lowe and also made famous by Elvis Costello

          G          C
As I walk through
            G        C
This wicked world
              Em           A           D          C
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity.

      G          C
I ask myself
            G     C
Is all hope lost?
              Em       A           D          C
Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?

         G                Gmaj7
And each time I feel like this inside,
G7                        C
There's one thing I wanna know:
G                     D                  Em       A
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
G                     D                  Em         D
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

And as I walked on
Through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes

So where are the strong
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.

'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
 
So where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.

'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

Coversongs originally made famous by Pink Floyd

LYRICS
Welcome my son, welcome to the machine
Where have you been?
It’s alright we know where you’ve been
You’ve been in the pipeline, filling in time
Provided with toys and ‘scouting for boys’
You brought a guitar to punish your ma
And you didn’t like school, and you
Know you’re nobody’s fool
So welcome to the machine

Big man, pig man
Ha, ha, charade you are
You well heeled big wheel
Ha, ha, charade you are
And when your hand is on your heart
You’re nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin
Saying ‘Keep on digging’
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find
Down in the pig mine?
You’re nearly a laugh
You’re nearly a laugh
But you’re really a cry

Another Brick Part IV
I don’t need no walls around me
And I don’t need no drugs to calm me
I have seen the writing on tRump’s wall
Don’t think I’ll need any tRump at all
No, don’t think I’ll need any tRump at all
All in all we’re all just bricks in tRump’s wall
All in all you were all just bricks in tRump’s wall

(And, Mexico is going to pay for it? Stand still, Donny!)

LYRICS
Are we on the eve of more war
Terror torn… feathers and tar… more
… apply wet blankets and baseball bats
Gonna eliminate those dirty rats

Out of the Native American’s eye… cry
No solution to our evolution of pollution
Look in the mirror… see the terrorist is I
By being passive in a non-violent revolution

Have we any belief in turning a new leaf
Have we any hope to alleviate grief
Have we any faith God will bless America
Have we any sense to calm mass hysteria

E                           A
There's somethin' happenin' here.
        E                A
What it is ain't exactly clear.
          E                   A
There's a man with a gun over there
          E                    A
A-tellin' me I've got to beware.

-

                     E
I think it's time we stop.
          D
Children, what's that sound?
A                     C           E E A E A
Everybody look what's goin' down.

E                          A
There's battle lines bein' drawn.
         E                    A
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong.
E                           A
Young people speakin' their minds
          E                  A
A-gettin' so much resistance from behind.

-

                     E

What a field day for the heat.
E                        A       G
A thousand people in the street
E                 A          G
Singin' songs and a-carryin' signs
E             A              G    E
Mostly sayin' hooray for our side.

Paranoia strikes deep.
          E            A
Into your life it will creep.

It starts when you're always afraid.
            E                      A
Step out of line, the men come and take you away.

LYRICS
Do you think this is
When you think this is
If you think this is
Have you heard of show biz?

Can you feel it coming
You know you feel it coming
Do you look within
If you feel it coming
You know you feel it coming
What are we doing?

Beware of “awes” behind the curtain
For certain, if there’s one thing certain
There’s no onw no where wanting hurtin’
Forget the rest. Wink. Smile. Flirtin’….

LYRICS
Rack ’em. Break ’em.
Let the balls roll
Whack ’em. Crack ’em.
Let the deal dole

No longer behind the eight ball any more
Check out all the angles to explore
Eyes popping from their sockets
Watching balls rolling into pockets

Chorus

There is so little to do with luck
Whether you bet the farm or just a buck
It’s more a matter to see geometry
Whether a straight shooter is what you’ll be

Chorus

Strike with just the right English
Weave yourself into the fabric’s mesh
Some happen to call it The Zen
As it happens to you, you’ll know when

LYRICS
I’ll have an ole fashion
Just the way I did
While I listen to ya fib

Ya said we’d be free
From sea to sea
Let it be

Strap on your spurs
Fix your bayonets
Rather the girls
Though both bring regrets

The legacy of our society
“Me, me, me!”
The legacy of our society
Breakin’ every treaty

Where the buffalo once would roam
We plowed a home
Raping the children of Mother Nature
Man, did we mature?
