cover of Yeasayer's Ambling Alp. Recorded February '10.

lyrics

Now kid, I know I haven't been a perfect man
And I've avoided doing things I know I can
But if I learned one thing, the tattoo on my arm
Will 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

Oh, Max Schmeling 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
It's true, you must give fascists hell
They'll run, but they can't hide
You must

Stick up for yourself, son

And when those thunderclouds are cryin'
In the skies, in the skies
And when those fireflies are shinin'
In your eyes, in your eyes
Keep your mind on the time
With your ass on the line
Keep your fleet feet slidin'
To the side, to the side

Oh, 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
