Stand Up Lyrics by The Triffids

Stand Up [7" single]

1981

My best friend said to me
"What we are gonna do with ourselves?
Eighteen is no age to be locked on somebody's reference shelves"

So stand up for your rights
Grab your baby and hold her tight
If they don't love you, well it's OK
We're all gonna die anyway

My best friend said to me
"Why does it all fall apart in my hands?
Don't get love, just get pain and
I really cannot understand"

So stand up for your rights
Grab your baby and hold her tight
If they don't love you, well it's OK
We're all gonna die anyway

So stand up for your rights
Grab your baby and hold her tight
If they don't love you, well it's OK
We're all gonna die anyway
