🐸 Bad Religion - Resist Stance 🐸
🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
Seeds of rebellion lay outside your front door
If you nourish them and water them they'll grow into a healthy "what for?"
And if revolution isn't what's in store
How can you care anymore?
It's a dangerous slip,
A conscientious shift
In the spirit of resistance you gotta hold your grip
Lest the state of your resolve makes you quickly devolve to a fundamentalist
~~
You're an archetype,
That they can pin to the wall
As you cling to all convictions like a farm animal in its stall
Never thinking of the bigger world outside
As they take you for a ride
It's a dangerous slip,
A conscientious shift
In the spirit of resistance you gotta hold your grip
Because passion unabated can be readily conflated as belligerence
It's a dangerous slip,
A conscientious shift
The spirit of resistance you gotta hold your grip
And the verdict won't be kind 'cuz they're desperate for a viable alternative
Take a stance. The Resist stance.
Take a stance. The Resist stance.
Take a stance. The Resist stance.
Take a stance. The Resist stance.

Coming from the punk scene in my youthful days, it fascinates me (and drives libs mad) how a litany of 80s punk lyrics can be applied perfectly to the incessant govt overreach and control.
Thank you for sharing some BR! It may catch flak from religious anons who can't get past their iconic & controversial logo, but this is the type of intelligent art we need to incorporate into our battle as it the potential to influence those still indecisive, asleep, or even those who "think" they are on the left side but have simple been told they are on that side.
And, I'll share these BR lyrics as well. Many of their older songs are incredibly significant to our timeline, but I chose this one specifically for it's relevance.
Bad Religion - Them & Us
Despite that he saw blatant similarity
He struggled to find a distinctive moiety
All he found was vulgar superficiality
But he focused it to sharpness
And shared it with the others
It signified his anger and his misery
Them and us
Lobbying determined through a mire of disbelievers
Them and us
Dire perpetuation and incongruous insistence
That there really is a difference
Between them and us
Hate is a simple manifestation
Of the deep seated self directed frustration
All it does is promote fear and constrenation
It's the inability
To justify the enemy
And it fills us all with trepidation
Them and us
Bending the significance to match a whimsied fable
Them and us
Tumult for the ignorant and purpose for the violence
A confused loose alliance forming
Them and us
And I heard him say
We can take them all (we can take them all)
We can take them all, thats what he said
We can take them all
But he didn't know who we were
And he didn't know who they were.
And there wasn't any reason or Motive, or value, to his story,
Just allegory, imitation glory,
And a desperate feeble search for a friend
Them and us
Lobbying determined through a mire of disbelievers
Them and us
Dire perpetuation and incongruous insistence
Tumult for the ignorant and purpose for the violence
A confused loose alliance forming
Them and us We can take them all (we can take them all)
My scene big time. I was in a punk band in LA in the early 80s. Wish Henry Rollins hadn’t cucked. Big disappointment.
