"Stand Up Comedy" Lyrics U2

In a great moment of lyrical self awareness, Bono warns the world to be aware of rock stars...

Stand Up Lyrics U2:

Love love love love love
Love love love love love

I got to stand up and take a step
You and I have been asleep for hours
I got to stand up
The wire is stretched
In between our two towers
Stand up in this dizzy world
Where a lovesick eye can steal the view
I'm gonna fall down if I can't stand up
For your love

Love love love love love

Stand up, this is comedy
The DNA lotto may have left you smart
But can you stand up to beauty
Dictator of the heart
I can stand up for hope, faith, love
But while I'm getting over certainty
Stop helping God across the road
Like a little old lady

Oh, oh
Out from under your beds
C'mon, ye people
Stand up for your love

Love love love love love
Love love love love love

I gotta stand up to ego
But my ego's not really the enemy
It's like a small child
Crossing an eight lane highway
On a voyage of discovery

Stand up to rock stars
Napolean is in high heels
Josephine, be careful
Of small men with big ideas

Oh, oh
Out from under your beds
C'mon, ye people
Stand up for your love

Love love love love love
Love love love love love

God is love
And love is evolution's very best day

Soul rockin' people moving on
Soul rockin' people on and on
C'mon, ye people
We're made of stars
C'mon, ye people
Stand up then sit down for your love

Love love love love love
Love love love love love
Love love love love love
Love love love love love
