I Won’t Give Up
Here’s to fear‘nother circus election yearClown-didates pretend they’re human beingsHere’s the adsWe vote and someone winsThat’s all we’re allowed to really changeFlatscreen flatscreen on the wallWho’s the best marketed of allBest disguising what an assholeThey really areI’ve had enough of thisWe’ve had enough of thisAudacity to exploit hope for cashI won’t give upI won’t give upI won’t give upIt’s not an optionAin’t a fightRed, blue, or black and whiteIt ain’t like changing channels on TVAin’t left or rightLetras de cancionesOr donkeys and elephantsIt’s the top against the bottomThat is realThe good uprisingsThey seem to come in wavesSplash! Then recedeThen splash againDon’t believe the hypeWe’re the ones being patrioticWhen we riseTo fightOur governmentWhen they’re wrongI won’t give upI won’t give upI won’t give upIt’s not an optionWhile everybody around meFeels broken down and defeatedI feel this surge of energyI wanna rock and rollLet my sick humor explodeSmile as I set everything on fireSo in my own small wayI’d rather make historyThan watch it on TVSo I made a vowAnd you can do it nowCorporations can’t have meInsurrectionStreets, votes, with our cashGoodbye Coca-ColaAnd chain storesHolier than thouWhine you ain’t done enoughWell, doing something’sBetter than doing nothing at allWe stopped VietnamGot civil rights and new dealsKuz we kept a blowtorch up their assAll that stands in the wayOf more wars and Abu GhraibsAin’t messiahsIt is usI won’t give upI won’t give upI won’t give upIt’s not an option
