Contravene – Stand Up & Resist lyrics

The voice of the victim stays silent, unoticed in order to turn over a profit.
The power structure doesn't just change from a wish.
It takes action - persistance.
So how many more times will I hear "it's not my fight"?
Stand up & resist
Before we start to open up our eyes?
Stand up & resist
We must realize that it's one fucking struggle - it's one fucking fight.
Everything is connected - one world, one struggle, one power, one people.
How many more times will we forcefeed generations the lies?
Stand up & resist
Lies of freedom while teaching them the ways of oppression
Stand up and resist
Why do we forcefeed generations lies of freedom, while teaching them the ways of oppression?
That they have a voice, but they shouldn't raise it
That they have a choice, but don't know how to make it
That they have freedom but shouldn't question what that means
That they are merely another cog, in the machine.
