So you think you can mess me around,
But I’m not going to stand for that, the things you say,
Don’t make any sense at all,
Have to take it, not leave it.

When the need arises, make a stand,
Not going to fall without a fight,
When the need arises, make a stand,
You got the right.

What I think don’t seem to have effect,
Deal the cards from now on, look at my watch,
Ticking my life away,
Much too precious to spoil.

When the need arises, make a stand,
Not going to fall without a fight,
When the need arises, make a stand,
You got the right.

I have caught you out so many times,
But it doesn’t change a thing,
Still you cheat and try to criticise,
It’s so disillusioning.

When the need arises, make a stand,
Not going to fall without a fight,
When the need arises, make a stand,
You got the right.

Yeah make a stand, stand up, stand up, make a stand,
You gotta make a stand, stand up and make a stand.
