John Mellencamp – You've Got To Stand For Somethin' Lyrics  Share

From John Mellencamp's album: Scarecrow

I^,ve seen the Rolling Stones
Forgot about Johnny Rotten
Saw the Who back in ^,69
Saw Bobby Seal
Talkin^, to the Panthers
Sayin^, just what he had on his mind
I saw Marlon Brando
On a motorcycle
He was actin^, out rebellion
I saw Rocky Stallone
In an X-rated movie
Called the Italian Stallion
I^,ve seen lots of things
But I have not seen a lot of other things

[Chorus:]
(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 anything

I saw Nikita Krushchev
Kissin^, Fidel Castro
Saw a man walkin^, on the moon
I saw Miss America
In a girly magazine

I bet you saw that too

I^,ve seen the London Bridge
In the middle of a desert
Seen 33 years go by
I know the American people
Paid a high price for justice
And I don^,t know why
Nobody seems to know why
I know a lot of things
But I don^,t know a lot of other things...Yeah Yeah Yeah

[Chorus]

Well I^,ve been to Harlem County
And I^,ve seen Paris, Texas
And I^,ve spent some time in Rome
I know a lot of funny people
In a lot of funny places
But the Midwest is my home
We^,ve got to start respectin^, this world
Or it^,s gonna turn around and bite off our face

[Chorus]
