Resistance Songtext
von Queensrÿche

Protests in New York
Listen to the call of the wild
Brother, sisters carrying signs
Breathe deep before it′s too late
The sky is falling, burning your eyes

Down in New Orleans, rivers boiling
Nothing living, nothing to eat
Thank the Lord, daddy's working eight to five
Paying the doctor, baby′s got cancer

(Give and take)
Has all we've learned been wrong?
(Look around)
At what we've been given
Maybe we′ve taken too long

"Resistance!"
Shouts the man on the right
Can′t solve the problem overnight
(Resistance)
Listen to the call of the wild


Burning coal, got to keep the company warm
As the rain keeps killing the trees
Cut 'em down quick, pay the man his wage
He′s making paper to fuel the information age

Out in the midwest
Hear the roar of the plough, turning grassland into sand
Got to feed the people more every day
But the wind keeps blowing the land away

(Give and take)
Has all we've learned been wrong?
(Look around)
At what we′ve been given
Maybe we've taken too long

"Resistance!"
Shouts the man on the right
Can′t solve the problem overnight
(Resistance)
Liberal opposition crying violation
Stop the madness

(Resistance)
Through the din, one voice we should hear
(Resistance)
Listen to the call of the wild


There's no easy solution
The price is high, and it's time to pay
Turn of the century vision
Focused on a better way

"Resistance!"
Shouts the man on the right
Can′t solve the problem overnight
(Resistance)
Liberal opposition crying violation
Stop the madness

(Resistance)
Through the din, one voice we should hear
(Resistance)
Listen to the call of the wild
