Jay Kuo - Resist lyrics

[Verse 1] I got my draft notice, I'm supposed to report for induction next week How can they force you to fight? I won't go, not unless they free our families first But you can't resist the draft It's not the right Will put you in prison This is prison [Verse 2] We do what's in here, made us all disappear Without charge, or cause, or reason Now we're all going to fight, have our bloods spilled Despite, the way that they've treated us So this is the plan, resist, take a stand They can hand us all for treason When our families go home, and we're ready to serve Be drafted like the rest We've our righteous cause, there are rights and laws Let's put them to the test [Chorus] Resist, or face the fire Resist, if they require We enlist and we demand, they understand We will name the price Resist, is now or never Resist, we stand together To insist, before we fight to insist Before we fight, we do what's right And we pledge to sacrifice Resist [Verse 3] We won't fight until our families are free Ben, Kimora, Mike, this is the guy who save my life Thank you! It's an honour Likewise How about a statement for the press, tell the world why you're fighting for America I'm a regular guy, just a Yankee G.I Who's fighting for his country See soldiers like me, want our families free Mine set Part Mountain Camp [Verse 4] How do you feel about the draft riots at Hart Mountain? Draft riots? They are being led by a resistor name Frank Suzuki Franky? You know him? Sorry to say I do He's got them burning their draft cards and refusing to fight for their country What do you say about that? In war we unite, we don't run from a fight In shame or humiliation American values are what lie at stake We stand for what is right Life and liberty, This will set us free And we're ready to fight [Chorus] Resist, is now or never Resist, we stand together To insist, before we fight to insist Before we fight, we do what's right And we pledge to sacrifice Resist, and fight Resist, and fight Resist, and fight [Verse 5] I'm fighting to win back my family's freedom For that, am willing to make the ultimate sacrifice We are loyal Americans, putting our lives on the line We condemn these draft dodgers We dishonor our troops, and we disgrace all freedom loving people We condemn agitators like Frank Suzuki, and his followers They are cowards and traitors They must be punished We must defend life and liberty, by any means necessary [Verse 6] Okay Kimora, we're only letting you out of the [?] on the count of your son My son? Is he? No, he's on the cover of Laugh Magazine Lai Isomu? He's a hero, doing his country proud Can I keep Sure, maybe you'll learn something What is this face they show, upon the cover This noble soldier an example to his men [Outro] I am fighting for the honor of all Japanese American. Especially my grandfather and father, who spend their lives proving their loyalty to the United States. I look forward to the day that I can see them, free. Along with my sister, K. I never thought I'd miss her nagging me, but she's a lot nicer than a drill sergeant
