Standing Up For Nothing Lyrics Artist(Band):Caedmon's Call
My face reflected in this empty plate I can't decide if it's the devil Or if it's just something I ate 'Cause he's been down there all morning He's patiently waiting at my gate He's throwing rocks at my window "Hey won't you come on out and play with me" And everyday when I get up I see folks trading in their crowns For all the paper of plastic lives An opiate for the masses' hounds And pride like a vestige of lives lost The stench of the old folks coming around Now with the news I heard today I can't tell if this world is lost or found You go, I'll be waiting here And I'm awake, no I cannot sleep So I'll sit upon this rock is you I ain't standing up for nothing 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 'Cause I know who you 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 Lack of interest leads to Lack of knowledge leads to Lack of perspective leads to Lack of communication leads to Lack of understanding leads to Lack of concern leads to This complacency denotes This approval denies The truth But I can't stop staring at myself It's my face reflected in this empty plate And I know that it's the devil So you lead, I'll be close behind So you speak, I'll hang on your words You gotta lift me from this hardened tree 'Cause I ain't standing up for nothing If you find some error in Standing Up For Nothing Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?
