John Mellencamp You`ve Got To Stand For Something Lyrics

You`ve Got To Stand For Something Lyrics

I've seen the Rolling Stones

Forgot about Johnny Rotten

Saw the Who back
in '69

Saw Bobby Seal

Talkin' to the Panthers

Sayin' just what he
had on his mind

I saw Marlon Brando

On a motorcycle

He was actin'
out rebellion

I saw Rocky Stallone

In an X-rated movie

Called the
Italian Stallion

I've seen lots of things

But I have not seen a lot of
other things



CHORUS

	(But I know)

	You've got to stand for
something

	Or you're gonna fall for anything

	You've gotta stand right
up for somethin'

	Or you're gonna fall....for anything

I saw Nikita
Krushchev

Kissin' Fidel Castro

Saw a man walkin' on the moon

I saw
Miss America

In a girly magazine

I bet you saw that too



I've
seen the London Bridge

In the middle of a desert

Seen 33 years go
by

I know the American people

Paid a high price for justice

And I
don't know why

Nobody seems to know why

I know a lot of things

But
I don't know a lot of other things...Yeah Yeah
Yeah



CHORUS



Well I've been to Harlem County

And I've seen
Paris, Texas

And I've spent some time in Rome

I know a lot of funny
people

In a lot of funny places

But the Midwest is my home

We've
got to start respectin' this world

Or it's gonna turn around and bite off
our face



CHORUS

Repeat
