Tell Us
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.
