Stand! In the end you'll still be you One that's done all the things you set out to do Stand! There's a cross for you to bear Things to go through if you're going anywhere Stand! For the things you know are right It's the truth that the truth makes them so uptight Stand! All the things you want are real You have you to complete and there is no deal Stand! Stand! Ooh! Stand! Stand! Ooh! Ooo ooo stand! You've been sitting much too long There's a permanent crease in your right and wrong Stand There's a midget standing tall And a giant beside him about to fall Stand! Stand! Ooh! Stand! Stand! Ooh! Ooo ooo stand! They will try to make you crawl And they know what you're saying makes sense and all Stand! Don't you know that you are free Well at least in your mind if you want to be Everybody Stand! Stand! Stand! Na na na na na na na na na nah Stand! Na na na na na na na na na nah Stand!

Pretty, pretty, pretty as a picture Witty, witty, witty as you can be Blind 'cause your eyes see only glitter Closed to the things that make you free Ever stop to think about a downfall Happens at the end of every line Just when you think you've pulled a fast one Happens to the foolish all the time Somebody's watching you Somebody's watching you Somebody's watching you Somebody's watching you Games are to played with toys etcetera Love is to be made when you're for real Ups and downs are caused by life in general Some are yours no matter how you feel Shady as a lady in a mustache Feelings camouflaged by groans and grins Secrets have a special way about them Moving to and fro among your friends Somebody's watching you Somebody's watching you Somebody's watching you Somebody's watching you Live it up today if you want to Live it down tomorrow afternoon Sunday school don't make you cool forever Neither does the silver of your spoon The nicer the nice, the higher the price This is what you pay for what you need The higher the price, the nicer the nice Jealous people like to see you bleed Somebody's watching you Somebody's watching you Somebody's watching you Somebody's watching you Somebody's watching you Somebody's watching you Somebody's watching you Somebody's watching you Somebody's watching you
