Let's Go Lyrics

Let me reintroduce myself
As a man with a cause
I’ve had a lot of time to think
And look at who we are

And I’ve got nothing left to say
But we’ve got to carry on
And I’ve got so much left to do
But I’ll start with this song

Why do they lie
Why can’t you see
Get up everybody
Stand up with me (whoa)

Lets go (everybody)
Lets go (tell them we’re coming)
Lets go (everybody)
Lets go (stand up with me)
Lets go
Take the world with me

You’ve got something on your mind
But you get in your way
Don’t tell us tomorrow
You better bring change today

And all we have is who we are
And all we know is pretending
You’ve got to bank on something real
Say, a life worth spending

Why do they lie
Why can’t you see
Get up everybody
Stand up with me

Lets go (everybody)
Lets go (tell them we’re coming)
Lets go (everybody)
Lets go (stand up with me)
Lets go
Take the world with me

So if you’ve got a torch to carry
Hold it high
Come take the world with me
Let it burn let it burn let it light up the sky

Stand up (get up lets go)
Stand up (you’ve got to let them know)
Stand up (you’ve got to make them see)
Get up people
Stand up with me

Lets go (everybody)
Lets go (tell them we’re coming)
Lets go (everybody)
Lets go (So I’ll sing)
Lets go (everybody)
Lets go (tell them we’re coming)
Lets go (everybody)
Come everybody stand up with me
Lets go
Lets go (Take the world with me)
Lets go
Lets go

ha.ha i was about to post this lyrics but gee someone alredy did it =) anyways... awesome song Cartel never stops amazing me... =) they are awesome.... i think this song is about realizing that we have (or they ) have some much more left to do..in our(their) lives... idk =)

This song fer sure redeems Cartel from the wreck the sophomore slump that was their self titled album. I cannot wait for Cycles.

I think this song means people are pretending to be something they aren't and its not getting them anywhere! You need to speak up and say what you are thinking and do what you want to do and not just live a lie because it wont get you anywhere in life

Some of you are saying it has something to do with having strong will power. I don't understand how you missed the biggest clue...

"Let me reintroduce myself As a man with a cause I’ve had a lot of time to think And look at who we are"

Clearly he isn't talking about self here, rather the collective whole (everyone). Why would his cause be about self? Makes no sense coming from Cartel.

The second biggest clue is he says: "Why do they lie Why can’t you see Get up everybody"

"Why do they lie" First of all who is they and what lie was it? Do you still think its about self or does it seem more like he is trying to say something about a controlling group? "Get up everybody..." Clearly it is about something much more deeper than some ego-satisfying crap.

"So if you’ve got a torch to carry Hold it high Come take the world with me Let it burn let it burn let it light up the sky"

This just makes it all the more obvious he is speaking about standing up against a controlling group that lies to everyone and he is saying don't he scared and come bring them down with me...
