Lyrics to You've Got To Stand For Something
You've Got To Stand For Something Video:
I've seen the Rolling StonesForgot about Johnny RottenSaw the Who back in '69Saw Bobby SealTalkin' to the PanthersSayin' just what he had on his mindI saw Marlon BrandoOn a motorcycleHe was actin' out rebellionI saw Rocky StalloneIn an X-rated movieCalled the Italian StallionI've seen lots of thingsBut I have not seen a lot of other thingsCHORUS (But I know) You've got to stand for something Or you're gonna fall for anything You've gotta stand right up for somethin' Or you're gonna fall....for anythingI saw Nikita KrushchevKissin' Fidel CastroSaw a man walkin' on the moonI saw Miss AmericaIn a girly magazineI bet you saw that tooI've seen the London BridgeIn the middle of a desertSeen 33 years go byI know the American peoplePaid a high price for justiceAnd I don't know whyNobody seems to know whyI know a lot of thingsBut I don't know a lot of other things...Yeah Yeah YeahCHORUSWell I've been to Harlem CountyAnd I've seen Paris, TexasAnd I've spent some time in RomeI know a lot of funny peopleIn a lot of funny placesBut the Midwest is my homeWe've got to start respectin' this worldOr it's gonna turn around and bite off our faceCHORUSRepeat
