Resist!

Somebody asked me a short time ago "Where are all the protest songs?" I thought about it long and hard How we gonna right this wrong? I thought about my place in this old world And what we're going to leave our grandkids Looking at me so curiously Asking me "what we did?" Time, Yes it's time, Time to resist Time, yes it's time. It's come to this Big fat bullies in a china shop Running amok with their lies Breaking all truth and beauty They're Pigs to loathe and despise 'Cause There's no room for billionaires Laughing on their gated thrones Greedy dragons basking in their lairs Feeding on people's bones Time, Yes it's time Time to resist Time, yes it's time It's come to this They Promised to return to a better time A time that never really was They Fooled the folks with alternate facts Lies that re-enforced their cause They dumbed it down for the disenfranchised The narrow-minded, bigots too Wrapped in the flag, pretending to be holy But What the hell would Jesus do? Time, Yes it's time Time to resist Time, yes it's time It's come to this Their Contempt for women and veterans Mexicans and muslims too Cutting off food, the arts and education Next they'll be coming after you So take your anger to the streets Yell at them and shake your fist Never give in 'cause you know it's wrong You know you have to resist Time, Yes it's time Time to resist Time, yes it's time. It's come to this
