So you think you can mess me around But I'm not going to stand for that, the things you say Don't make any sense at all Have to take it, not leave it (Chorus) When the need arises, make a stand Not going to fall without a fight When the need arises, make a stand You got the right What I think don't seem to have effect Deal the cards from now on, look at my watch Ticking my life away Much too precious to spoil (Repeat Chorus) I have caught you out so many times But it doesn't change a thing Still you cheat and try to criticize It's so disillusioning (Repeat Chorus) Yeah make a stand, stand up, stand up, make a stand You gotta make a stand, stand up and make a stand
