Too bored to live, too young to die If you get too tall, I'll cut you down to size T.V. fear sells brand new cars My love lives with my guitar It's easy to feel that free When you know what you want to be [Chorus] Stand up, your time has come back around Stand up, there's nothing holding you down Walk on, with your feet off the ground How they gonna stop you now? How they gonna stop you now? So learn to live or learn to lie Just don't sit and watch the world go by T.V. fear sells brand new cars My love lives with my guitar It's easy to feel that free When you know what you want to be [Chorus] How they gonna stop you now? Never gonna stop you now I said stand up; don't sit back down I said stand up; don't sit back down They got the mouth, we got the soul Come on now, honey, will you let it roll? You got the move; don't hang around Come on now honey, can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Stand up, Stand up, Stand up, your time has come back around Stand up, there's nothing holding you down Walk on, with your feet off the ground How they gonna stop you now? I said, how they gonna stop you now? How they gonna stop you now?
