Stand By Me, Yeah lyrics by Sloan

(P. Pentland/Sloan)

You gotta roll with the punches to get to what is real
Knock down the bastards and show them how it feels

'Cause you know
It's not easy when you feel they
Go out of their way to get you
It's not easy when you feel they
Go out of their way to get to you

And all your dreams are coming true
And now you wish they'd stayed inside you

It's not easy when you feel they
Go out of their way to get you
It's not easy when you feel they
Go out of their way to get to you

Stand by me
Stand by me, yeah
Stand by me
Stand by me, yeah
Stand by me
Stand by me, yeah
Stand by me

Line them up and knock them down
They all come running when the word gets around

You gotta roll with the punches to get to what is real
Knock down the bastards and show them how it feels

'Cause you know
It's not easy when you feel they
Go out of their way to get you
It's not easy when you feel they
Go out of their way to get to you

Stand by me
Stand by me, yeah
Stand by me
Stand by me, yeah
Stand by me
Stand by me, yeah
Stand by me

Line them up and knock them down
They all come running when the word gets around
