[Intro]
E E D A x4
[Verse]
E D A
Seeds of rebellion lay outside your front door
E D A G
If you nourish them and water them they'll grow into a healthy what for?
D A
And if revolution isn't what's in store
B
How can you care anymore?
[Chorus]
E D
It's a dangerous slip,
A E
a conscientious shift
E D A E
In the spirit of resistance you gotta hold your grip
G D A B
Lest the state of your resolve makes you quickly devolve to a fundamentalist
[Verse]
You're an archetype,
that they can pin to the wall
As you cling to all convictions like a farm animal in its stall
Never thinking of the bigger world outside
As they take you for a ride
[Chorus]
It's a dangerous slip,
a conscientious shift
In the spirit of resistance you gotta hold your grip
Because passion unabated will be readily conflated with belligerence
[Solo]
(Over verse chords)
[Chorus]
It's a dangerous slip,
a conscientious shift
The spirit of resistance you gotta hold your grip
And the verdict won't be kind 'cuz they're desperate for a viable alternative
[Instrumental]
E E D A x4
Take a stance. The resist stance. (x4)
