Up With Hope, Down With Dope lyrics with English Translations
I have known this preacher-man
For a long time, he was a good man
I have known this judge
For a long time, he was a good man
I have known this teacher
For a long time, he was a good man too
But because of the drugs
They've been taking secretly
Them are in loony houses today
We cannot stand aside and look While the nation is going down the drain We cannot stand aside and look While the nation is going down the drain
Up with hope, down with dope Up with hope, down with dope Up with hope, down with dope
We cannot stand aside and look While the nation is going down the drain We really, really cannot stand aside and look While the nation is going down the drain, oh yo
I am telling you now Cocaine, no good for you Liquor, no good for you You go sniffing them glue No good for you They give it to you and say It's the sense of knowledge But I know, I've been around for a while
I cannot stand aside and look While the nation is going down the drain I say, I cannot stand aside and look While the nation is going down the drain Oh, yo, yo, yo
Up with hope, down with dope Up with hope, down with dope Up with hope, down with dope
We cannot stand aside and look While the nation is going down the drain We cannot stand aside and look While the nation is going down the drain
Up with hope, down with dope Up with hope, down with dope Up with hope, down with dope
We cannot stand aside and look While the nation is going down the drain We really, really cannot stand aside and look While the nation is going down the drain, oh yo
I am telling you now Cocaine, no good for you Liquor, no good for you You go sniffing them glue No good for you They give it to you and say It's the sense of knowledge But I know, I've been around for a while
I cannot stand aside and look While the nation is going down the drain I say, I cannot stand aside and look While the nation is going down the drain Oh, yo, yo, yo
Up with hope, down with dope Up with hope, down with dope Up with hope, down with dope
