Standing Up For Nothing - Caedmon's Call[00:00:00]

I can't stop staring at myself;[00:00:10]

My face reflected in this empty plate [00:00:14]

I can't decide if it's the devil[00:00:18]

Or if it's just something I ate [00:00:22]

'Cause he's been down there all morning [00:00:27]

He's patiently waiting at my gate [00:00:31]

He's throwing rocks at my window [00:00:35]

Hey won't you come on out and play with me [00:00:40]

But everyday when I get up[00:00:48]

I see folks trading in their crowns[00:00:52]

For all these paper or plastic lives;[00:00:56]

Opiate for the masses hounds [00:01:00]

And pride like a vestige of lives lost [00:01:05]

It's the stench of the old folks coming 'round [00:01:09]

Now with the news I heard today [00:01:14]

I can't tell if this world is lost or found [00:01:18]

You go; I'll be waiting here [00:01:23]

And I'm awake no I cannot sleep [00:01:31]

So I'll sit upon this rock is you [00:01:40]

I ain't standing up for nothing [00:01:48]

I've never seen my congressman [00:02:01]

But I can't deny that he exists [00:02:05]

'Cause I've seen his legislation pass;[00:02:09]

I've seen his name on the ballot list [00:02:13]

Same I can't deny this fallen world [00:02:17]

Though not my home it's where I live [00:02:22]

How can I preserve and light the way[00:02:26]

For a world that I can't admit I'm in [00:02:30]

'Cause I know who I say You are [00:02:35]

But these crows can't be made to stop [00:02:44]

So I'll sit denying by this fire[00:02:52]

I ain't standing up for nothing[00:03:01]

Lack of interest leads to [00:03:09]

Lack of knowledge leads to [00:03:13]

Lack of perspective leads to [00:03:17]

Lack of communication leads to [00:03:22]

Lack of understanding leads to [00:03:26]

Lack of concern leads to [00:03:30]

This complacency denotes [00:03:35]

This approval denies[00:03:38]

The truth [00:03:42]

But I can't stop staring at myself;[00:03:47]

It's my face reflected in this empty plate [00:03:51]

And I know that it's the devil [00:03:56]

So you lead; and I'll be close behind [00:04:05]

So you speak and I'll hang on your words [00:04:13]

You've got to lift me from this hardened tree [00:04:22]

'Cause I ain't standing up for nothing [00:04:30]

Nothing[00:04:41]
