Refusal Lyrics by Strike Anywhere

Change Is a Sound

2001

[Intro]
Go!

[Verse 1]
Sister, I won't let you go
I won't let them take you into
The silence of a past divided
Brother, keep teaching the power
We only move together, away from
The past that made us fall apart

[Chorus]
I refuse to run
And I will die before I kneel
In this life
I refuse to run
And I will die before I kneel
In this life

[Verse 2]
Systems of profits we punish
With love as our weapon
And unity, unity, rebirth in fire

[Chorus]
I refuse to run
And I will die before I kneel
In this life
I refuse to run
And I will die before I kneel
In this life

[Bridge]
Are we crucified?
And we defend our birthright
Equality betrayed
With every hour, a voice is lost
Every rage defies the cost
Embrace the whole world as your kin
Truth to truth and skin to skin, begin!

[Breakdown]
I'm searching for an
End to the bullshit reactions
Another way to separate us
An end to the bullshit of separation
Another way to keep us from truth

[Outro]
I refuse to run
And I will die before I kneel
No more!
I refuse to run
And I will die before I kneel
No more!
