Who's gonna stand for something
And never let it fall
Who's gonna fight is battle
And still he'll lose it all
Who's gonna swear out loud
And sell it for the truth
Who's gonna shut his mouth
And never let it loose
Rising up from the crowd
Who's gonna stand up alone
Placing himself above all
Who's gonna cast the stone?
Who's gonna point the finger
At those who are abused
Who's gonna tow the line
And find himself accused
Who's gonna pull the trigger
And hide behind his gun
Who'll put his faith in numbers
To pass it to his son
Somebody testifies
- Victim of oversight
Somebody shields his eyes
- And finally sees the light
Rising up from the crowd
Who's gonna stand up alone
Placing himself above all
Who's gonna cast the stone?
Who's gonna make the rules
Of this here game of lies
It's neither you or me now
So come on, roll the dice
Rising up from the crowd
Who's gonna stand up alone
Placing himself above all
Who's gonna cast the stone?
