Stand Up
Hannah Wilke
1940 - 1993
New York City
"Stand up for what you want to do
stand up there's no one telling you
how to stand up, stand up, how to stand up.
stand up there's no one telling you
how to stand up, stand up, how to stand up.
Stand up when people put you down
stand up and dance above the ground
you've got to stand up, stand up,
you've got to stand up.
stand up and dance above the ground
you've got to stand up, stand up,
you've got to stand up.
Disposable products, society
consumer reports, life's absurdity
exposing the truth is like nudity
so stand up, why don't you stand up
consumer reports, life's absurdity
exposing the truth is like nudity
so stand up, why don't you stand up
Stand up and be your own cliche
stand up, there's no one to betray
when you stand up, stand up,
when you stand up.
stand up, there's no one to betray
when you stand up, stand up,
when you stand up.
Stand up because you don't belong
stand up, if they're too right, they're wrong
you've got to stand up, stand up,
you've got to stand up.
stand up, if they're too right, they're wrong
you've got to stand up, stand up,
you've got to stand up.
Foreign affairs, force of gravity
athletic, electric, conformity
exposing the truth is like nudity
so stand up, darling, stand up
athletic, electric, conformity
exposing the truth is like nudity
so stand up, darling, stand up
Stand up for women to decide
stand up, their bodies you're inside
you've got to stand up, stand up,
you've got to stand up.
Futures and issues, security
no sublet clause on humanity
exposing the truth is like nudity
so stand up, you've got to stand up.
