Nico Vegas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stand tall for the beast of America
Lay down like a naked dead body
Keep it real for the people workin' overtime
They can't stay living off the governments dime

Stand tall for the people of America
Stand tall for the man next door
We are free in the land of America
We ain't goin' down like this, come on now

Come on people
What

Stand tall for the beast of America
Lay down like a naked dead body
Keep it real for the people workin' overtime
They can't stay living off the governments dime

Stand tall for the people of America
Stand tall for the man next door
We are free in the land of America
We ain't goin' down like this come on now

Come on people
Come on people
Come on people

Hah

Come on people
Come on people
Come on people

Hah

I will be right to you
I will be right to you
I will be right to you, and together we can stand up to the beast
You see, suppression is a motherfuckin' prison
And I hand you the key to your cell
You've got to love you neighbor, love your neighbor
And let your neighbor, love you back

Stand tall for the beast of America
Lay down like a naked dead body
Keep it real for the people workin' overtime
They can't stay living off the governments dime

Stand tall for the people of America
Stand tall for the man next door




'Cause we are free in the land of America
We ain't goin' down like this Come on now

If there ever was a time in American History this song needed to be blasted from the mountain top it’s now. “COME ON PEOPLE!!!” 🇺🇸💯🔥

@NoOneGetzOutAlive

Depends on your context

@c.control9951

Somehow I don't think Nico meant for this to be a right wing populist Patriot anthem... 😃

@f1refigh7er

​@@c.control9951surely hope she did, that would make this song so much better. WWG1WGA!

@JonMW2

@@c.control9951songs “shift” / adopt depending on which party decides to be shitty (political climate) which is both there’s only two main parties and they’re both garbage. And anyway if you think this song is in anyway representative of “the left” ur smoking something. “government” aka all of them
