How can you stand there when all around you is a lie
How can you stand there and not wonder why
What right to complain when so many much worse off than you
How can you stand there and just watch them do it?
How can you stand there come walk with me that extra mile
How can you stand there and not raise a smile
You must be paralyzed so little time so much to do
And soon you’ll realize that it’s down to you
Cause it’s not over till you hit the top
It’s not over till you have to stop
It’s not over while we have a chance
It’s not over so come on and dance
How can you stand there
How can you stand there
How can you stand there
How can you stand there
The warning signs all around this town
Something’s up something’s coming down
Made aware by the plagues and quakes
Wound up tight like it’s gonna break
Now the drums are thumping
Blood is pumping
Hands on the clock getting ready to stop
Tires screaming engine smoking
Look out driver the earth is choking
How can you stand there
How can you stand there
How can you stand there
How can you stand there
