You`ve Got To Stand For Something

Now Daddy didn`t like trouble, but if it came along Everyone that knew him knew which side that he`d be on He never was a hero, or this county`s shinin` light But you could always find him standing up For what he thought was right He`d say you`ve got to stand for something or you`ll fall for anything You`ve got to be your own man not a puppet on a string Never compromise what`s right and uphold your family name You`ve got to stand for something or you`ll fall for anything Now we might have been better off or owned a bigger house If Daddy had done more givin` in or a little more backing down But we always had plenty just living his advice Whatever you do today you`ll have to sleep with tonight He`d say you`ve got to stand for something or you`ll fall for anything You`ve got to be your own man not a puppet on a string Never compromise what`s right and uphold your family name You`ve got to stand for something or you`ll fall for anything Now I know that things are different than they were in Daddy`s days But I still believe what makes a man really hasn`t changed You`ve got to stand for something or you`ll fall for anything You`ve got to be your own man not a puppet on a string Never compromise what`s right and uphold your family name You`ve got to stand for something or you`ll fall for anything You`ve got to stand for something or you`ll fall for anything
