Shea Diamond：

Stand up

'Cause you are standing for nothing

Just shut up

'Cause your words mean nothing

Dan Reynolds：

Everyone is at each other's throats

Everyone thinking that they know things that they don't know

Everyone painting the third coat on the wall of belief

Send me relief

When I call the police will they just kill me

Will they just kill you

When I call the police will they just protect me

Cause I'm white skinned too

Every time you talk the system knows

Everywhere you walk the cameras go

Everything I say you already know

Everything in state is about to blow

Way back before Jim Crow

When I call the police will they just kill me

Will they just kill you

When I call the police will they just protect me

Cause I'm white skinned too

Shea Diamond：

Stand up

'Cause you are standing for nothing

Just shut up

'Cause your words mean nothing

Everybody stares like I'm just my gender

But I'm a living soul with my own agendo

Tell me how you are the priest and the prosecution

Tell me how you have a God who loves executions

Corruption in the blue line ripples out

Eruption in the streets bring the few and proud

Attention when the knees fall to the ground

Silently loud

When I call the police will they just kill me

Will they just kill you

When you call the police would they just protect you

Cause you're white skinned too

Dan Reynolds：

Every day that passes I'm angrier

Every time the cops get a hall pass build another barrier

Now it's stereotypical

No I'm not cynical

Political hypocritical

Corruption in the blue line ripples out

Eruption in the streets bring the few and proud

Attention when the knees fall to the ground

Silently loud

Shea Diamond：

Stand up

'Cause you are standing for nothing

Just shut up

'Cause your words mean nothing

If you walked a mile in my shoes

You'd probably take 'em off wouldn't you

If you had to live in my truth

You'd probably tell a lie wouldn't you

Dan Reynolds：

When I call the police will they just kill me

Will they just kill you

Shea Diamond：

Stand up

'Cause you stand for nothing

Nothing

You stand for nothing

Stand up

'Cause you stand for nothing

Just shut up

'Cause your words mean nothing

Stand up

'Cause you stand for nothing

Just shut up

'Cause your words mean nothing
