Resister
Oppose the flow, or take the role
They're only asking for your body and soul
And your mind is not your own
Until you comprehend their forms of control
All the underdogs, black sheep,
Fighters of the powers that be
In tenements, high rises,
Freedom fighters, the outsiders
'Cos some of us are healing,
And some of us are feeding a pain,
We just need to speak it
So we can proceed again
Hey sister, don't let your heart close its fist yeah yeah
You got to, get up up be a resister
You got to, get up up be a resister
Sometimes it's too much you know
And now I know they've got you feeling down low
But there's one way to dig ourselves from this hole
'Cos t-t-t-true change only comes from below
Breeze riders, occupiers, residing
In otherwise sidelined quarters,
On doorways, on corners, and borders
'Cos some of us are healing,
And some of us are feeding a pain,
And we just need to speak it
So we can proceed again,
Hey sister, don't let your heart close its fist yeah yeah
You got to, get up up be a resister
You got to, get up up be a resister
Hey sister, don't let your heart close its fist yeah yeah
You got to, get up up be a resister
You got to, get up up be a resister
The slackers, the sleepless, the homeless, the loners
Sex workers with a service, street workers risking murder
On council estates reclaiming space, from ethical leaders
And we just need to speak it so we can proceed again
Hey sister don't let your heart close its fist yeah yeah
You got to get up up be a resister
You got to get up up be a resister
Hey sister don't let your heart close its fist yeah yeah
You got to get up up be a resister
You got to get up up be a resister
You got to get up up be a resister
You got to get up up be a resister
They're only asking for your body and soul
And your mind is not your own
Until you comprehend their forms of control
All the underdogs, black sheep,

'Cos some of us are healing,
And some of us are feeding a pain,

Hey sister, don't let your heart close its fist yeah yeah

You got to get up up be a resister
You got to get up up be a resister
You got to get up up be a resister
