Stand By

from A Knee In The Back by Möbius Strip

	/

lyrics

1, 2, 3, 4

I can't stand by

They say the world is watching
But I've got my doubts
For every peaceful protest a knee in the back

My whole lifetime
Eclipsed in a single heartbeat
Time was never on our side

Stand by
Someone else is working on it
Go home--the streets are empty
Go home and watch it on TV

1, 2, 3, 4

I can't stand by

Well, I might be going too far
But at least I'm going somewhere
I cannot live on tomorrow's bread

Well, I might be going too far
But at least I'm going somewhere
If you're a cog on a wheel then I'm a wrench
