G/C G/B A7sus G
Well, I can't stop staring at myself;

My face reflected in this empty plate.

Verse 2:
G/C G/B A7sus G
But everyday when I get up
G/C G/B A7sus G
I see folks trading in their crowns
G/C G/B A7sus G
for all these paper or plastic lives;
G/C G/B A7sus G
An opiate for the masses hounds.
G/C G/B A7sus G
And pride, like a vestige of lives lost.
G/C G/B A7sus G
It's the stench of the old folks coming 'round.
G/C G/B A7sus G
Now with the news I heard today,
G/C G/B A7sus G
I can't tell if this world is lost or found.
Chorus 1:
C2 D2 C2
You go; I'll be waiting here.
D2 C2
And I'm awake, I cannot sleep.
D2 Am7
So I'll sit upon this rock is you.
I ain't standing up for nothing.
Intro x2
Verse 3:
Well, I've never seen my congressman,
But I can't deny that he exists.
'Cause I've seen his legislation pass;
I've seen his name on the ballot list.
Same, I can't deny this fallen world.
Though not my home it's where I live.
How can I preserve and light the way
for a world that I can't admit I'm in?
Chorus 2:
'Cause I know who I say You are,
But these crows can't be made to stop.
So I'll sit denying by this fire
I ain't standing up for nothing

So You lead; and I'll be close behind.
So You speak and I'll hang on Your words.

'Cause I ain't standing up for nothing.
