Flobots - Stand Up Lyrics

This song was a huge influence on me growing up. I discovered Flobots in 2008 the day I finished 8th grade. I always loved the message that Flobots would send. Now here I am again in 2020 being reminded of this song because it's quite likely the U.S. is about to enter a war with Iran.

"We the people did not want war"

this song is amazing been listening to it since i was a kid and the song still gives me a good feel

liberal bullshit

Someone today ?

The left is starting to make me not wanna listen to this band , due to the fact of the comments and that they are the very monster they claim to be fighting.

This is the music that is real not this Gucci gang shit

Can You do a German version?! Stent Auf!

So I found this song on the Reponut Channel, and I gotta say, the message is powerful.
This world could accomplish so much greatness if we didn’t give a fuck about being better than one another

How come this isn't more popular?

Flobots 2019 , flint , climate, trump, ws , Venezuela, the hood ect....

Good shit classic

11 years later and this could not be more relevant

2019 still listening 🖤🖤🖤

I always get chills from this

Sadly, in the past few years, I have realized that this kind of idealism is not realistic. Unfortunately, huamn groups will always and forever compete with one another. This has been and will forevermore be based on race and nationality.

Keep these guys relevant

hmm happy 4th

This damn song should be your theme for this year. Extremely prevalent.

My favorite part is We're under Gid but we're killing like the sun on sand but if you feel like I do about the Son of Man we will overcome" <3

i thought he said son of sam

legit Violin love that

Have not heard Flobots since 7th grade, that's 8 years ago. And Logan Paul is dissing?????

Still a flipping EPIC song and message. STAND UP ✊

ten years ago... i"m still listening....

Wow, this song is more relevant now than ever :) I love Flobots’, music that’s as good now as it was back in 2008. “It’s time we clarify we the people did not want war.” Oh and fu, Zuckerberg, smug, Harvard educated data pimp!

Ain’t heard This band in 6+ years and I remember why I loved them. True and raw

That moment the violin hits ☺️

March for our lives is today and I’m going to the one in Tampa, who’s with me?

*insert who’s here in 2018 comment here* *also insert xd*

only rap i like.

May Fortune never leave your side. Gods bless Flobots.

10 years later... man it's been a while but the lyrics are still applicable

what delicious protest music

As relevant today as it's ever been.

*puts hands up*

This song is about America and it's problems. The system he says is totting through is our system and its true. It's been so long yet nothing's been done. This country is no longer under God, it's under money. But then again what can we do, we are but a couple grains of sand in an endless beach. I get laughed at for trying to spread the truth. A lot of people don't fully understand this song neither do I, but it has a lot to say NOTE: ITS MY OPINION BUT I HAPPEN TO THINK THESE WERE THE INTENTIONS OF THE WRITERS. ITS LIKE A POEM, THERE COULD BE TONS TO UNDERSTAND FROM ONE LINE OR A COUPLE.

That's also true. We the people never wanted war neither did the people of our enemies. Politicians wage war against St eachother

So true. Under God but we kill like we can't stop. Are we any better? This world is a complicated place.

Anyone in 2017?

This was relevant lik a decade ago and still is ten years later sad we couldn't make a change great enough

This song Is even more relevant in today's world

The best freedom is intellectual freedom found in individualism and objectivism.

I am from my upper middle-class home, my mom currently won't let me skateboard in the house, this song gives me courage to keep fighting.

The spotify version of this song as a weird disconnect at the end about slapping thongs presented like part of a radio broadcast. Is that part of the Album's connective material?

the sad part. is now people stand up for kneeling athletes and donating celebrities.

Who watching in 2017?

Almost 2018 and it feels more relevant now more than ever.

2018, almost 2019

woo a song that dosnt have mindless lyrics

What happened to these guys?

great song good message to

damn, all my drum beats have come from Flobots, I just realised this. Legends.

love it

you're awesome ! :)

Buy guns

We need more music with actual meaning, thank you Flobots.

I think torture is ok if the guy was really bad and has friends are worse evils

great song great message but to me at least this seems like they kind of want people to rebel things like "we got coup" and other lyrics and I hate the military industrial complex as much as the last person but war never will result in any thing

Yes! real talk, much needed...truth. I dig this ✊

Wow!! The lyrics on this one... where are these guys now? I remember "No Handlebars coming out when I was in high school, I think, but never anything else from them. Obviously they had talent....anyone know what they're doing today?

This song helped me so much, I grew up in violent household, I had no will to live. This song gave me hope and gave me voice to stand up for myself and others. My mum and I are now safe and are living far better lives.

That's great man. Also, rip Newt <3

Im fighting to get a bag any1 got any numbers this is horrific fuck my life!

I am from Slovenia, and we are currently discriminating against "Gypsies" (Roma) because the Constitution doesn't specifically say they are equals. I have been fighting for ethnic equality, especially after I lost my two best friends (who were Roma) who were both killed by rioters that want segregation. This song has kept me fighting for this.

Jim Nantz Thank you.

Jemo I hope your fight for equality is making progress. Currently unaware that was going on there. One thing that everyone has in common is we're human. Regardless of everything else, we're human. One species may one day we save us from ourselves. Good luck man!!

I might be from America but I stand with your fight and my heart bleeds for your friends and everybody else who lost their life in the pursuit of happiness. Which is your right as a human being.

Stand strong, earth angel. God equips all soldiers for battle whether you believe or not. But if you want to be the best soldier you can be, take care of yourself. Love yourself. Love your enemy and understand that they are beings in pain, just like you. Then your fight will be God's fight.

We will overcome.

Julian Velez we the people do not want war

Julian Velez stand up we shall not be moved except by a child with no shoes

2017 and this song is still great

mni wiconi!!!
water is life.
stop the brutality being committed against water protectors in north Dakota.
aho!!!
mitakuye oyasin
we are water

This is probably my favorite song by them 💖

This song hit me a lot harder than any other song in the album, but everyone liked handlebars so much more...

Jane Stewart watch the music to handlebars and notice what happens to the guys in the beginning till the end it shows how the world changes people I'm not the best at describing but watch it

the album is gold throughout and handlebars is a mighty song tho. but i agree

ANONYMOUS 2016

Go to Lukes twitter

Sadly, this song will always remain relevant

@Parker Call it's called being a responsible gun owner.

@Parker Call Governments and corporations work together to get money and power from people, we need a balance between having enough government to be able to handle the corporations, but small enough to make sure they do.

Greg Young like bruh it’s 2019

This is such an important song to me

same basic message as Vinnie Paz and Lowkey....but not as violent.

Vinnie Paz, Blackistan, Celph Title, Apathy, Immortal Technique......anyone from AOTP or Jedi Mindtricks or Demigodz. same message just a different way of going about expressing it.

youre uhhh a few years late, but sure?

aby recomandations

my people are fighting for clean water right now in North Dakota. This song gives me strength , been jamming it since the album dropped

solidarity to the water protectors.

I was there with you my brother...the fight will never die. Mini Wiconi!

Dominicus Emericus Are they still fighting for it?

Fight Well!

This makes me want to just gather ever American who sick of our corporately run country (which is all of us I think) and march up to the Whitehouse n just throw everyone out! scrap em all and have a REAL vote amongst our citizens. no fukin voting fraud this time!!!

SAD YOU GUYS DON'T GO TRUMP

this sing has to be the best ! its 8 years old and yet still better then the ones they make now !!

This album is much needed by todays America.

Its Bamm agreed, but instead it's covered by bullshit that means little to nothing.

Its been needed since the elite have controlled us. 1776.

Here because of heythereimshannon.

Who else is here from heythereitsshannon

Im here because of my older sister😂

Great song but I don't believe in a lot of the ideals.

STAND UP!

bernie2016!

Trump 2016

+Illogical Hawk right....... my thoughts exactly.

Ron Paul 2020

This is so proletarian. I love it.

😍😍😍😍 In love with Flobots!!!

I'm in love with your adorable face

@ᅚᅚ Awe that's so sweet! Thank you!

@Alishia Curry You look so young! XD

+Alishia Curry wow beautiful😍😍

My favorite band by far !

I generally don't listen to rap, but Flobots is a nice exception. They don't spam cusses all over the place, they have a nice message, they actually have MUSIC and not just basic electronic snares all over the place, and they're overall just classy about it. There needs to be more of this, I'm sick of hearing the same "SMOKE W33D POPPIN' HEADS GANGSTA FUCK BITCHES GAZILLION DOLLAS SHITFACED PARTY COPS ARE STUPID I'M INVINCIBLE" bullshit everywhere I go.

rhymers not rappers

It's been a LONG time since I've heard this. A couple years. May the nostalgia flood my body.

I get this music, but the meaning is blurry. Could someone please explain?

u have to take it into context in the time frame it was made. it's pretty much about the world post 9/11 which still holds true today with the war on terror.

love fiercely.

7 years ago still true sadly

2016 and it's only getting worse.

Jocelyn Wright 2017 is already fucked

@Solam :\ yup. Damn shame what the world is coming to

@Jocelyn Wright yea this world is getting worse by the minute

world's always been like this hate to break it to you honestly you have to have been sheltered to think this

New favorite music... And I just found them. :c

Handlebars is by far their best

I'll airdrop a boombox into the whitehouse with this song on repeat.

alright let's do it

yatsign1 sure but snipers would just shoot it down

Fuck, it's been awhile. A friend of mine introduced me to them years and years ago...always stuck with me though. Still affects me like it did back then. Memories...

awsomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

#whitelivesmatter #gunsdontkillpeople #thayreinanimateobjects

Human lives matter, idiots kill, guns are the medium. It seems like either everyone needs to know how to operate a firearm, and have one, or completely remove them, for that is the only way to get rid of violence through threat or lack of ability.

+The 52nd Timelord Yeah, I feel like criminals will always find a way to squeeze through the laws.

huh, i liked that music. Is there more?

@John Smith plenty, listen to the album and other songs by Flobots

@John Smith I would specificaly recomend Handlebars, y Flobots of course.

this is real music
