Lyric 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
