Resistance Lyrics by Mindslip

Perpetual Burning

2008

These kids they hold us down but we will rise against that resistance
Controlling all
And their fingernails scratch (?)

To monopoly, this fucked up shit they've done, you see, an atrocity
And I'm thinking back and I'm feeling like they are jeopardizing the way that we live

[Chorus]
You more than understand that we will rise against that war
They hate us all and they will not be fair
They reap us all then they put us down inside a hole

And the truth is all the headlines, all the red tape
Doesn't give us a chance to escape from the
Root of the 'cause
The American dream would have been all that it seems
Made up a line, politicians are great but I
Who all would have thought
That we would stand down, put our face in the dirt
Never raise up
Let our voices be heard

[Chorus]
You all will take that stand with us and rise against that war
They hate us all and they will not be fair
They reap us all and then they put us down inside a hole
They treat us like we're insane
Living comes with nothing to live for
We'll show the world that we will not take it

We will not be destroyed
We will not live in vain
We will not be destroyed, destroyed, destroyed

From the grieving, and the hate, from all of the face
We'll take to the point, it's a children of the world
Then leave us with a vengeance
And our hearts build up resistance
We will be fair

The simple fact that we are strong
Holding the, touching the hands of the young
Rise to redemption, all on our feet
Crossing our (?)
We are the ones who will not fall
Cannot believe all the shit that's been shoved down my throat
That's been shoved down my throat

[Chorus]
They hate us all and they will not be fair
They reap us all then they put us down inside a hole
They treat us like we're insane
Living come with nothing to live for
We'll show the world that we will not take it

[Outro]
We will not be destroyed, destroyed, destroyed
We will not live in vain, in vain, in vain
We will not be destroyed, destroyed
