Standing Up For Nothing
Caedmon's Call

I can't stop staring at myself

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 every day when I get up

I see folks trading in their crowns

For all these paper or 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

The 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 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

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've got to lift me from this hardened tree

'Cause I ain't standing up for nothing
