Rise Up — Skunk Anansie

You're too cool to be smart, but that is what you are You're too sane to be hard, but that is what you are You're too sad to be high, but that is what you are You don't have to run

You got to rise up, sweet woman child You got to rise up, sweet woman child You got to rise up, sweet woman child We're losing our convictions

You're too wise to be cool, but that is what you are You're too deep to be good, but that is what you are You're too weak to be sold, but that is what you are You don't have to run And you don't have to hide

You got to rise up, sweet woman child You got to rise up, sweet woman child You got to rise up, sweet woman child We're losing our convictions

You're losing all of your convictions Your integrity slowly watered down Never mind your soul destruction Nevermind, nevermind, nevermind it all

You got to rise up, sweet woman child You got to rise up, sweet woman child You got to rise up, sweet woman child You got to rise up

Oh lord when you feel it in the air Oh lord when you feel like you wanne cry Oh lord when you love the one you're with
