Yesterday I told my sons

Sometimes the bad guys win

And that it made me scared about the world that we live in

But I had to reassure them that it wouldn't be for long

Sons we have to be ourselves

We have to be strong



I said, Boys you are the future, so let this be a lesson

There may come a day you have to fight off their aggression

Cause fear and hatred won today, the darkness ate the light

But both of you look in my eyes, it'll be all right



In every step you take

I'm with you all the way

Cause I would die for you

And do what's right for you

In hopes that when I'm gone

You'll carry on

These words I wrote for you



'Til then...

I'll sing



Stand your ground

Don't let the bastards grind you down

Be bold, be strange

Don't let their fears make you afraid

There's hope

They'll change



Well I looked out to the world today, thought What a bloody mess!

They stripped our morals from us, put 'em under house arrest

Liberty and country are the words they need to speak

A little God, a little freedom, if we don't agree we're weak



And every politician stood there idle and so smug

Empowering the racists and Second Amendment thugs

Wall Street and the billionaires, convinced us they're so smart

Screaming, Vote with your wallets, instead of with your hearts!



But we won't go away!

You won't forget our name!

The pussy generation, the PC and the brave

The protesters that slink along these streets of misery



And so...

I'll sing



Stand your ground

Don't let the bastards grind you down

Be bold, be strange

Don't let their fears make you afraid

There's hope, we'll change

We'll change

We'll change



No, no, no, no, no

We say, No, no, no, no, no

f**k no!

No, no, no, no, no

f**k no!



So give us all your f**kers, all your niggas, and your spits

Give us all your Muslims, the so-called terrorists

We'll welcome 'em with open arms and put 'em in our mix

We're better off together now, embrace our difference



Remember there is love!

Our words can stop their guns

Forget the rednecks

Living in the past

We're never going back now, we've reached critical mass!



And so...

I'll sing



Stand my ground

Won't let the bastards grind me down

I'm bold, I'm strange

Won't let their fears make me afraid

There's hope, they'll change
