Jello Biafra & The Guantanamo School Of Medicine - I Won't Give Up lyrics

Here's to fear Another circus election year Clown-didates pretend they're human beings Here's the ads Then we vote and someone wins That's all we're allowed to really change Flat screen flat screen on the wall Who's the best marketed of all Best disguising what an a**hole They really are I've had enough of this Audacity to exploit hope for cash I won't give up I won't give up I won't give up It's not an option Ain't a fight Red, blue, or black and white It ain't like changing channels on TV Ain't Left or right Or donkeys and elephants It's the top against the bottom That is real The good uprisings They seem to come in waves Splash! Then recede Then splash again Don't believe the hype We're the ones being patriotic When we rise To fight our government When they're wrong I won't give up I won't give up I won't give up It's not an option While everybody around me Feels broken down and defeated I feel this surge of energy I want rock and roll Let my sick humor explode Smile as I set everything on fire So in my own small way I'd rather make history Than watch it on TV So I made a vow And you can do this now Corporations can't have me Insurrection Streets, cotes, with our cash Goodbye Coca-Cola And chain stores Holier than thou Whine you ain't done enough Well, doing something's Better than doing nothing at all We stopped Vietnam Got civil rights and new deals Cause we kept a blowtorch up their a** All that stands in the way Of more wars and Abu Ghraibs Ain't messiahs It is us I won't give up I won't give up I won't give up It's not an option
