Tell Us

Location

Tell us what right you have to be here?

Tell us why you’re telling all these lies

standing there with a smile on your face

you’re laughing as we try

 

we get up

you knock us down

you spread rumors all around

 

but no matter what you say

and no matter what you do

we stand up because we have to

we stand up to those like you

 

to open up your eyes

show the strength we have inside

 

we are not the ones mistaken

we are not the ones at fault

 

you might be a big shot

but in the end we’ll be on top

 

so tell us what right you have to be here?

tell us why your telling all these lies

standing there with a smile on your face

you're laughing as we try

 

 

when we stand up

you can knock us down,

spread your lies all around

 

but no matter what you say

and no matter what you do

we stand up because we have to

we stand up to those like you

 

We stand up for those like us.
