[Verse 1]
Ev'rywhere the people talkin' 'bout the thing they like
Mostly 'bout those things they'd like to change
But issues aren't decided by what's may be wrong or right
But the man who smiles the biggest wins the game

[Chorus]
Ev'rybody can't stay on the fence
Ev'rybody got to take a stand
If you want your world to make some sense
Won't somebody take a stand?

[Verse 2]
Does your conscience touch you when another soldier dies
And the thought of people starvin' does seem strange?
But issues aren't decided by what's merely wrong or right
And the man who smiles the biggest wins the game

[Chorus]
Ev'rybody can't stay on the fence
Ev'rybody got to make a stand
If you want your world to make some sense
Won't somebody take a stand?

[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Ev'rybody can't stay on the fence
Ev'rybody got to take a stand
If you want your world to make some sense
Won't somebody take a stand?

[Chorus]
Ev'rybody can't stay on the fence
Ev'rybody got to take a stand
If you want your world to make some sense
Won't somebody take a stand?

[Chorus]
Ev'rybody can't stay on the fence
Ev'rybody got to take a stand
If you want your world to make some sense
Won't somebody take a stand?
