all united, all as one, let's make a stand
we've got a privilege in the power that we command
so let'snot drown in ignorance and let our strength waste away
as the richest nation in the world, we've got a responsibility.

vieques, puerto rico, a protectorate -- of the U.S.A.
part a home to native families, the rest... a navy bombing range!
shells misfired kill civilians there, and napalm hangs in the island air
but the government beats down protests against this misuse.

chorus:
so... stand up! fight back! resist-refuse!
'cause if we don't do it, no one's going to
sp... stand up! fight back! resist-refuse!
'cause if we don't do it, no one's going to

i look into the eyes, of a dead island boy's face
his (eyes) remind me of another's, from different time and place
where a-bombs baked the ground, on bikini's tropical lands
where a culture was erased, families misplaced, by a nazi-esque like plan!

chorus:
all done, in your name, by uncle Sam
so if we don't fight it - then we're guilty too!
so... stand up! fight back! resist-refuse!
'cause if we don't do it, no one's going to

i think it's 'bout time that we had a change
i think it's 'bout time that we make a change...
