All united, all as one, let's make a stand
We've got a privilege in the power that we command
So let's not drown in ignorance and let our strength waste away
As the richest nation in the world, we've got a responsibility.

Vieques, Puerto Rico, a protectorate - of the U.S.A.
Part a home to native families, the rest... a Navy bombing range!
Shells misfired kill civilians there, and napalm hangs in the island air
But the government beats down protests against this misuse.

Chorus:
So... Stand up! Fight back! Resist-Refuse!
'Cause if we don't do it, no one's going to
So... Stand up! Fight back! Resist-Refuse!
'Cause if we don't do it, no one's going to
