Hey, people are you ready to get in the streets
To be your own police?
Are you ready to start tonight
To stand up and fight for your rights?

Oh, oh, I just gotta know, I gotta know
I gotta know, I gotta know

Young people, would you do the patriotic thing?
Are you ready to stand up and sing
That you`re tired of the war and all that s**t?
Oh, tell me, are you ready to do your bit?

Oh, oh, I just gotta know, I gotta know
I gotta know, I gotta know

You gotta` take a stand, give your brother a helping hand
We got to start today, so tomorrow our kids can play
We better do what`s right so we don`t have to fight no more

`Bout the only way I see that we can change the plan
Is to vote and get our man
The man whose not afraid
And one whose not over paid

Oh, oh, I just gotta know, I gotta know
I gotta know, I gotta know

You gotta` take a stand, give your brother a helping hand
We got to start today so tomorrow our kids can play
We better do what`s right so we don`t have to fight no more
