Ambling Alp - Yeasayer

Now kid, I know I haven’t been a perfect man

And I’ve avoided doing things I know I can

But if I’ve learned one thing to tattoo on my arm

Or burn into my thumb, it would be that…

You must stick up for yourself son, never mind what anybody else done

Stick up for yourself son, never mind what anybody else done

Old man Schmelling was a formidable foe

But Ambling Alp was too, at least that’s what I’m told

But if you learn one thing, you’ve learned it well

In June you must give facists hell, they’ll run but they can’t hide

You must stick up for yourself son, never mind what anybody else done

Stick up for yourself son, never mind what anybody else done (x3)

Now the world can be an unfair place at times

But your lows will have their complement of highs

And if anyone should cheat you, take advantage of, or beat you

Raise your head and wear your wounds with pride

You must stick up for yourself son, never mind what anybody else done

Stick up for yourself son, never mind what anybody else done (x3)
