Made in Dagenham - Original London Cast & Gemma Arterton stand up

Select language to translate this lyric

You ever get the feeling you've been cheated for so long,
You know whats right, and yet they make you feel its wrong,
Second at the table, picking up the crumbs,
Change is always promised, but somehow never comes.
Stand up,
Stand up,
In the war women worked as doctors, bus drivers, landgirls
We won that war together
And yet women are still being asked to make do
To wait until tomorrow, but when is tomorrow
10 years, 20 years 50 years!
Stand up, stand up, if you're with me then put your hand up.
We women have always supported you men,
Whenever you've needed us we've
been there and you've never had to ask,
So we've come here today because we need
you to vote for this equal pay amendment.
The first step is that you put your hand up,
And then you make a stand for everyone.
We're a family you see,
Brothers and sisters comrades, everyone,
These you're words not mine
You men are you happy your daughters will grow up
to be second-class citizens, that's your daughters
You can change this, you can,
because nothing changes if it isn't challenged
So please stand up for women's rights because if not now when.
Stand up, stand up, stand up
While the world rides on our shoulders, while they take us for a ride,
We're in the heart of everything, but kept on the outside,
I'm asking for your help, and I know that money's tight,
But we need you standing by our side and doing what is right.
Oh, Stand up, stand up, if you're with me then put your hand up,
We've got to turn around and face the fight,
Gotta learn to put things right, only way to live your life
Common' stand up stand up, the first step is that you put your hand up
And then you make a stand for everyone and then the battle will be won
Stand up
We won't run and we won't hide,
So don't cross by on the other side,
Men, women we are one,
We are the union
You might think that we just can't win,
but I tell you this for nothing we ain't giving in,
No what I want to say, Is that today could be the day
Stand up, stand up, if you're with me then go and put your hand up,
We've got to turn around and face the fight,
Gotta learn to put things right, only way to live your life
Common' stand up stand up, the first step is that you put your hand up
And then you make a stand for everyone and then the battle will be won
Common
Stand up stand up the first step is that you put your hand up
And then you make a stand for everyone and then the battle will be won
Stand up
Diologue
Stand up, stand up, i'm with you so I can hold my hand up,
I was wrong and you were right, should have been there for your fight
You're the light that lights my life
Wow you look amazing
I only borrowed it
I'm sorry I let you down, I let myself down,
I don't expect you to love me back, but I love you Rita O'Grady,
And everything you said it's amazing what you've done, amazing.
Eddie you big lump.
Dialogue

And then you make a stand for everyone and then the battle will be won
