Songs That Had To Do With Human Rights


Get Up, Stand Up (Bob Marley)

Get up, stand up, stand up for your right 
Get up, stand up, stand up for your right
Get up, stand up, stand up for your right
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight

Preacher man don't tell me heaven is under the earth
I know you don't know what life is really worth
Is not all that glitters in gold and
Half the story has never been told
So now you see the light, aay
Stand up for your right. Come on

Get up, stand up, stand up for your right
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight
(Repeat)

Most people think great God will come from the sky
Take away ev'rything, and make ev'rybody feel high
But if you know what life is worth
You would look for yours on earth
And now you see the light
You stand up for your right, yeah! 

Get up, stand up, stand up for your right
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight
Get up, stand up. Life is your right
So we can't give up the fight
Stand up for your right, Lord, Lord
Get up, stand up. Keep on struggling on
Don't give up the fight

We're sick and tired of your ism and skism game
Die and go to heaven in Jesus' name, Lord
We know when we understand
Almighty God is a living man
You can fool some people sometimes
But you can't fool all the people all the time
So now we see the light
We gonna stand up for our right

So you'd better get up, stand up, stand up for your right
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight
Get up, stand up, stand up for your right
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight


Zombie (Cranberries)

Another head hangs lowly 
Child is slowly taken 
And if violence causes the silence 
Who are we mistaking 
But you see it's not me 
It's not my family 
In your head in your head 
They are fighting 

With their tanks and their bombs 
And their bombs and their guns 
In your head in your head they are crying

[Chorus]
In your head
In your head
Zombie zombie zombie ei ei 
What's in your head 
In your head.
Zombie, zombie, zombie ei, ei, ei, oh do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do 

Another mother's breakin', 
Heart is taken over
When the violence causes silence 
We must be mistaken 
It's the same old thing since 1916 
In your head in your head 
They're still fighting 
With their tanks and their bombs 
And their bombs and their guns 
In your head in your head they are dying
