THE BEAT
"How Can You Stand There"

How can you stand there when all around you is a lie

How can you stand there and not wonder why
What right to complain when so many much worse off than you

How can you stand there and just watch them do it?

How can you stand there come walk with me that extra mile

How can you stand there and not raise a smile
You must be paralyzed so little time so much to do

And soon you'll realize that it's down to you
'Cause it's not over till you hit the top
It's not over till you have to stop
It's not over while we have a chance
It's not over so come on and dance

How can you stand there
How can you stand there
How can you stand there
How can you stand there

The warning signs all around this town
Something's up something's coming down
Made aware by the plagues and quakes
Wound up tight like it's gonna break

Now the drums are thumping
Blood is pumping

Hands on the clock getting ready to stop
Tires screaming engine smoking
Look out driver the earth is choking

How can you stand there
How can you stand there
How can you stand there
How can you stand there
