resist - leslie harding lyrics

intro-
here get your life
i’m taking you at your word now so be concise

influence if you can’t inspire to do it right
make no mistake this is war now this is a fight

verse 1-
i’m not inspired i’m incensed by the nonsense
things will get worse before they improve i am convinced
amalgam of illness; contents of abscess
holding high position who’s responsible for this?
yourself myself yourself again
kiss your bargain goodbye and all agreed upon ends
casualties i see ahead come from your hand
“tribalize” and shun the main issue at hand

pre-chorus-
i’m dukes up. i’m shook. i’m tipping on the edge don’t give me a second look
pot has been abandoned; kettle has been left. i’m boiling over trying to contain and clean this mess

chorus-
it’s taking everything just to keep this f-cking temper down and keep my head on
bear with me if you don’t see things how i see

verse 2-
i am beholden to you. a leader. a beacon. a reason
not one whose core beliefs change with a bribe or season
clear out the trees for everyone to know and see
catch you filthy handed. hide behind ubiquity
like patrick bateman. like bundy almost did
those who follow scripture then silence them abused kids
because so many blindly laud the powerful
i won’t concede i supersede my voice will always say no

pre-chorus-
i’m dukes up. i’m shook. i’m tipping on the edge don’t give me a second look
pot has been abandoned kettle has been left i’m boiling over trying to contain and clean this mess

chorus-
it’s taking everything just to keep this f-cking temper down and keep my head on
bear with me if you don’t see things how i see

breakdown/spoken word-
as we cycle through all your bullsh-t at a high capacity
you’ve been sent here to mislead
that much is apparent to me

you’re more scandalous than kerry
you deal in hilarity without irony or parody
how can i take you seriously?
once a contained swamp flowing in the street

in part due to rhetoric of those who wish to normalize
increased suspicions of those who may not share the dominant religion nationale- or race

a blatant jeer in the faces of those who’ve attempted to create a more perfect union between justice and the human condition

in a land built on inhumanity that’s relegated your blood and tears to currency all of our profits are pain for someone else

facilitate the constant ache of those near and far with chronic underestimation of the effort it takes to move a m-ssive people and attempt to maintain consistency and humanity

on our best day we fail but now we throw up our arms and concede to the greed of the hostile beast

power over you is not for me. it will never be. let freedom ring from the soloist to the symphony. power over you is not for me

chorus-
it’s taking everything just to keep this f-cking temper down and keep my head on
bear with me if you don’t see things how i see
