Otep – Rise Rebel Resist lyrics

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

WAR

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!
