I Will Not Comply
Copyright 2014 Angel's Take Music
Think fast, tear gas, man the barricades
Black mask, shattered glass, pass the hand grenades
Low class, last laugh, and retaliate
Don’t ask, no pass, proudly raze the flag
For too long you piped the song and we were hypnotized
But we awoke, the spell was broke,
I see your hand on our throat
Your control would be our suicide
I will not comply. I will not comply
You see, we don’t need you; we’re better off without
Link up arms and everybody shout
I will not comply. I will not comply
You can only have the control after we die
Until then I will not comply
Hold fast, outlast, gotta stand our ground
Harassed, beaten, smashed, but we’ll never bow
Third class, hidden stash, the automatic sound
Sweet as, fast blast, now we stare ‘em down
Unheard, unseen, staring at the screen
Living the American dream
But now that we’re awake, you can beat us down
But we’ll never break
I will not comply. I will not comply
You see we don’t need you; we’re better off without
Raise up your fist and everybody shout
I will not comply. I will not comply
You can only keep us down
When we’re six feet in the ground
Until then I will not comply
Send the drones even if I’m on my own
I’m not the one to be afraid
I know that I’m not standing all alone
And you fear your disappearing charade
I will not comply. I will not comply
You see we don’t need you; we’re better off without
Raise up your fist and everybody shout
I will not comply. I will not comply
You can only keep us down
When we’re six feet in the ground
Until then I will not comply
