Lyrics - Resistance by Queensryche

(
Geoff
Tate/
Michael

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
River's boiling, nothing living, nothing to eat
Thank the
Lord,
Daddy's working 8-5
Paying the doctor, baby's got cancer
CHORUSGive 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
Ristance-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 sandgot to feed the people more everyday
But the wind keeps blowing the land away
CHORUSResistance-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
CHORUS-----------------------------------------------------------
