"Rise, Rebel, Resist" lyrics - OTEP
Perfect little spouses, in perfect little houses,
It's family fun time, let's commit a hate crime
Perfect little spouses, in perfect little houses,
It's family fun time, let's commit a hate crime
Perfect little spouses, in perfect little houses,
It's family fun time...
Let's commit a hate crime!
If I can't be loved, then I'll be hated!
I'm... disconected
I'm... uninspired
I'm... burning in water
I'm... drowning in fire
I'm trapped inside my mind
Beneath these piles of stinking lies
You use this abuse to keep me conquered
You're so absurdly common
Vacant faces,
Brainless strangers
Sputtering stuttering insect language...
I'm the creature you created.
Every day I grow jaded,
Callous and exasperated
If I'll never be loved,
Then I'll be hated
I'm one of the
Freaks, the faggots,
The geeks, the savages,
Rogues, rebels, dissident devils,
Artists, martyrs, infidels...
Do we sit still, under attack?
Or do we start pushing back?
Never back up.
Never back down.
And FIGHT!
Rise, rebel, resist!
Rise, rebel, make a fist, resist!
Rise, rebel, resist!
Rise, rebel, make a fist, resist!
I'm human pollution,
I covet retribution,
I'm just a big mistake,
A defect you can subjugate
Your ridicule is just typical antics:
Spineless, mindless, tragic, fanatic
Puritan, bigot
Lunatic, hypocrite
To save my soul from disaster
Self-destruction could be the answer
If I'll never be loved
Then I'll be hated
I'm one of the
Freaks, the faggots,
The geeks, the savages,
Rogues, rebels, dissident devils,
Artists, martyrs, infidels...
Do we sit still, under attack?
Or do we start pushing back?
Never back up.
Never back down.
And FIGHT!
Rise, rebel, resist!
Rise, rebel, make a fist, resist!
Rise, rebel, resist!
Rise, rebel, make a fist, resist!
Masochistic,
So sadistic,
All they see is another statistic
Maybe I'm a misfit, maybe I'm different
It will never be an average existence
Masochistic,
So sadistic,
All they see is another statistic
If I can't be loved
Then I'll be a hater
It's family fun time
Let's commit a hate crime

Rise, rebel, resist!
Rise, rebel, make a fist, resist!
Rise, rebel, resist!
Rise, rebel, make a fist, resist!
The freaks, the faggots,
The geeks, the savages,
Rogues, rebels, dissident devils,
Artists, martyrs, infidels...
Do we sit still, under attack?
Or do we start pushing back?
Never back up.
Never back down.
And FIGHT!
