Some people hate and expect affection
Some people lie and demand the truth
I gotta ask myself if it's soul deception
Is this a natural thing that we all just do

We take such pleasure from pain
I'm just tired of playing that game
Some things you've got to change

(chorus)
You've got to stand and deliver
With your body and soul
Stand and deliver
Just give me something to hold
Stand and deliver
If the truth can be told
We can make it together
If we stand, stand and deliver

Sometimes my mind drives me to distraction
I want to shut all the windows and lock the doors
Everytime I get a little bit of satisfaction
I feel the walls come tumbling to the floor

But I know in this life
You gotta stand up for what feels right
Each day and every night

(repeat chorus)
