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 him the 'Italian Stallion' I've seen lots of things But I have not seen a lot of other things 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 thirty three 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 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 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 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 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
