Where Do You Stand?

Where do you stand?
Where do you stand?
Is that your brand? Bland?
I don't understand you
So afraid to offend
You can't be everyone's friend
Because in the end
They'll only demand you stand
There are men just like us
Who are dying because
They are men just like us

Where do you stand?
Where do you stand?
You think your band's fans
Need a line in the sand?
You're singin' for them
At 45RPM
But you're scared they'll condemn them
This can't be what you planned

You stand
Up for what you believe
And love you receive
Outweighs those who believe you

What's it about?
The devoted devout
We could've found out
The doubt
Is just your motivation

Get down off that cross
Show the world who is boss
Lose the glitz and the gloss
The dross
In alienation

If you stand for something
I can surely guarantee
It won't be easy
The script that I would read
The only certainty
Is that you'll be loved
For who you are
At least by me

How long?
Can you keep holding your breath
When you know
Silence equals death
Confess
Who you are
Or who you might you be
Oh where do you stand?
Come on be a man
Stand for something
Stand for something

Where do you stand?
I know you can
Stand for something
Stand up for something
