letra de the right to resist - strife & harmony

“a right to resist”

intro:

ahhh…
i see how it is
repression for the poor
tax breaks for the rich?
how’s that justice?

bailouts for the upper crust
while we face
death by a 1000 budget cuts
the systems corrupt
enough is enough
the systems corrupt
enough is enough
refuse to submit

hook:

we have a right to resist
the state serves the 1%
their power’s illegit
refuse to submit
we have a right to resist
the state serves the 1%
their power’s illegit

verse 1:

we’re losing sight
foods a basic human right
we’re losing sight
educations a human right
we’re losing sight
healthcares a human right
we’re losing sight
shelter’s a human right
choose to fight
or lose your rights
when the states serving corporate might
don’t get bitten twice
don’t just ask for a piece
demand your slice
take control of your own d-mned life
occupy all sites, all day, all night
unite to fight, then call a general strike
make the rich pay for all this strife (x 2)

hook:

we have a right to resist
when the state serves the 1%
their power’s illegit
refuse to submit
we have a right to resist
the state serves the 1%
their power’s illegit

verse 2:

never kneel, to the dollar bill
greed k!lls, the rich steal
look at the blood they spilled
for short-sighted profit
corrupt business deals
decolonize your mind
resistance for real
no more united state of amnesia
no more monopolistic media
no more bowing to these corporate leaders
who cheat and beat us
our lives face search and seizure

hook:

we have a right to resist
when the state serves the 1%
their power’s illegit
refuse to submit
we have a right to resist
the state serves the 1%
their power’s illegit

verse 3:

capitalism is the crisis, face it
reforms given us
longer chains & bigger cages
the 1% gave us genocide & eco-devastation
colonialism, imperialism & privatization
now it’s a race to the bottom for these slave wages
bootstrap mythologies, backed by free market hatred
monopolies & bureaucracies have more than two faces
so the whole globes bowing to neo-feudal corporations

hook:

we have a right to resist
when the state serves the 1%
their power’s illegit
refuse to submit
we have a right to resist
the state serves the 1%
their power’s illegit (x 2)

verse 4:

from the paris uprisings to tahrir square
we’re looking for a world that’s equal & fair
the zapatistas, to the spanish acampadas
a new worlds in our hearts
no we haven’t forgotten
the stolen lands of palestine
to the tribes of the lakota
for a world free of military & corporate takeovers
the battle in seattle to the squatters in greece
as long as there’s no justice, there can never be peace
cascadian tree-sits to strikes in flint, michigan
the owners want endless expansion
though resources dwindling
from the oakland commune
to the demands of the panthers
for a world free of
bosses, bureaucrats, & landlords
from revolutions in
syria, bahrain & tunisia
from the arab spring
to the factories of argentina
to occupy wall street
& all comrades who believed us
solidarity world-wide
to those fighting for their freedom
