Jewel - Stand Lyrics






Walk in a corner shop
See a shoplifting cop
See the old lady with a gun
See the hero try to run
Nothing's what it seems, I mean
It's not all dirty, but it's not all clean
There's children paying bills
There's monks buying thrills
There's pride for sale in magazines
There's pills for rent to make you clean
Marvin Gaye, there's no brother, brother
Woody Guthrie's land can't feed Mother

[CHORUS]

Mothers weep, children sleep
So much violence ends in silence
It's a shame there's no one to blame
For all the pain that life brings
If you will just take me It might just complete me
And together we can make a stand

A waitress brings me lunch
We meet but do not touch
On TV, D.C. is selling lies
While in the corner, King's dream dies
Go to the counter, pay for me and my friend
A homeless man pulls out a roll, says it's on him
The mayor has no cash
He said he spent it on hookers and hash

[CHORUS]

you will love me, I will love you

[CHORUS]

    Jewel is beautifull.Man in his search for a friend and girlfriend must just be for the woman that cares for him only.Not women he don't know.He has to get to know a woman.

  41. T.... B....

    Great song and video but came out in the wrong era.

  42. C.... Y....

    Jewel tried to infuse modern pop music with intelligence and sophistication but, unfortunately, that doesn't sell.

    C.... Y....

    Not today, it did in my day.

  43. T.... L....

  50. D.... W....

    Poet and messages in a song. That is what today songs lack of

  51. T.... E....

    (You deserved better Jewel) I hope you are treated well by whoever is with you lovely

  52. R.... R....

    This is pretty bad... no wonder no one knows it. Way too electro pop for Jewel IMO

  53. R.... K....

    Love my Jewel!!!

  54. c.... c....

    Even with a messed up tooth she's.still gorgeous as fuck

  55. T.... H....

    this song brings me back to my moms old jeep liberty with this album blasting..

  56. J.... V....

    I wonder if a certain Japanese manga artist heard this and (will someday) make a character based on her?

    That or make a spiritual manifestation based on her.

    After all, the name of this song is *STAND*

  57. 4.... E....

  59. T.... Y....

    Walk in a corner shop


    See a shoplifting cop
    See the old lady with a gun
    See the hero try 2 run
    Nothing's what it seems, I mean
    It's not all dirty, but it's not all clean
    There's children paying bills
    There's monks buying thrills
    There's pride for sale in magazines
    There's pills for rent 2 make u clean
    Marvin Gaye, there's no brother, brother
    Woody Guthrie's land can't feed Mother
    [CHORUS]

    Mothers weep, children sleep
    So much violence ends in silence
    It's a shame there's no one 2 blame
    For all the pain that life brings
    If u will just take me It might just complete me
    And together we can make a stand

    A waitress brings me lunch
    We meet but do not touch
    On TV, D.C. is selling lies
    While in the corner, King's dream dies
    Go 2 the counter, pay for me and my friend
    A homeless man pulls out a roll, says it's on him
    The mayor has no cash
    He said he spent it on hookers and hash

    [CHORUS]

    U will love me, I will love u

    [CHORUS]

    T.... Y....

    Fuck off bitch. We get the lyrics from jewel. Who the fuck *READS* something that is coming from her mouth in a *VIDEO* that you're supposed to watch??? If you become psycho and read that fucking useless shit you posted they're gonna miss the video

    T.... Y....

    Tok Yo thank you!

  60. B.... K....

    Jewel is so pretty!

  61. X.... c....

    Fuck i hate this music , its like the autotune not catchy moden mainstream
    But jewel is dope af
    And the writing is still top notch

  62. C.... ....

    Great track. I never forgot it. Love the hip hop influence beat.

  63. E.... M....

    I have always loved this song since the first time I heard it. The 0304 album really was a nice piece of work. I found myself listening to several of those songs many times. I think the diehard fans were upset with her changing her sound for broader appeal. I had never thought to listen to a whole album of hers until 0304 came out. She definitely has a beautiful voice and the lyrically content goes above the head of the masses in general. I appreciate her trying something new. It worked for me! #jewel #0304 #jewelstand ❤❤❤

    E.... M....

    that 0304 is a great album have it

  64. a.... c....

    Jewel is absolutely GORGEOUS in this video !!!!!!!!!

  65. m.... e....

    Beautiful woman

  66. D.... R....

    WAR WAR SAME SAME

  67. D.... R....

    What's UP grand marmalade....

  68. P.... ....

    ah natural beauty

  69. 7.... ....

    I just found this song and it just stuck to me. I love it 💕💕💞💞

  70. M.... l....

    Her makeup is Perfect in this video.

  71. s.... f....

    This is so true.

  72. S.... C....

    Shop lifting cop,
    Old lady with a gun,
    Hard to believe but not impossible

  73. m.... s....

    Omg this song brings back so much memories!! I listened it over and over again when I was in college and now I am almost 30 years old !!

  74. R.... T....

    I wonder if she got a crick in her neck from holding her head in the exact same position for almost the entire song

  75. C.... W....

    Good song, good video.

  76. �.... ....

    the song reminds me of my middle school days

  77. C.... D....

    Love intuition love stand.. love the album 0304

    C.... D....

    that is a great album

  78. A.... L....

  87. U.... ....

    15 years ago... god.

  88. i.... a....

    It's crazy how much violence ends in silence

  89. F.... ....

    2018💕✌

  90. �.... ....

    It's the human greed that causes so much pain in the world.

  91. c.... ....

    I wish Jewel would re-release this in 2018! The lyrics are so fitting for what's going on in America.

    c.... ....

    So if it was fitting then, and it's still fitting now, what does that say about what we as individuals have done for our communities?

  92. m.... ....

    This album was overlooked because she went dance pop but it was one of her best albums

    m.... ....

    mikeparez

    I think she wants do something different before she reach her 30,one year before this album was released

  93. k.... s....

    Anybody else remember that 24 second song before the first song on this album

    k.... s....

    kassie s Stand is the first song on 0304. What song are you talking about?

  94. E.... D....

    I love Jewel but now she is a Hallmark channel mystery detective
