Confrontation Lyrics
don't
be.....
silent.
FIGHT.
(violence, mêlées, & disturbances of the peace)
v1.
here's your introduction to destruction
& the hate sustaining me
are we safer or in danger?
drowning in atrocities?
riot gear, the slaves are here
piling corpses high
its the rich man's war
but its the poor that fight
more capitalist crimes,
more enemies than allies
no WMD's - who gives a fuck
if they die
just kill em all - watch em fall
skin the world with their lies
its a rich man's war
but its the poor that fight
(chorus)
stand up
speak out
strike back
stand up
speak out
strike back
they don't know
what they started
CONFRONTATION.
v2.
my religion of resistance
challenging everything
radicals & dissidents
of creativity
we are the children
of the siege you hide
in this rich man's war
where the poor just die
more deception & greed
more wars & disease
more lies from the hive mind
that seek to deceive
a weak nation of need
like silent thieves in the night
its a rich man's war
but it's the poor that die
(chorus)
stand up
speak out
strike back
stand up
speak out
strike back
they don't know
what they started
CONFRONTATION.
stand - FIGHT
speak - FIGHT
strike back!
stand - FIGHT
speak - FIGHT
strike back!
they don't know
what they started
CONFRONTATION.
(bridge)
this is my
battle cry!
defy the lies
of the tyrant race
with a fist in the air
& a finger in their face!
DEFY THE TYRANTS!
DON'T BE SILENT!
DEFY THE TYRANTS!
DON'T BE SILENT!
DEFY THE TYRANTS!
DON'T BE SILENT!
DEFY THE TYRANTS!
DON'T BE SILENT!
(chorus)
stand up
speak out
strike back
stand up
speak out
strike back
they don't know
what they started
CONFRONTATION.
stand - FIGHT
speak - FIGHT
strike back!
stand - FIGHT
speak - FIGHT
strike back!
they don't know
what they started
CONFRONTATION.
(outro)
there's no
way they
can stop us
now
so let them try
we fight or we die.
be.....
silent.
& the hate sustaining me
drowning in atrocities?
piling corpses high
but its the poor that fight
more enemies than allies
if they die
skin the world with their lies
but its the poor that fight
speak out
strike back
speak out
strike back
what they started
challenging everything
of creativity
of the siege you hide
in this rich man's war
where the poor just die
more wars & disease
that seek to deceive
like silent thieves in the night
but it's the poor that die
speak out
strike back
speak out
strike back
what they started
speak - FIGHT
strike back!
speak - FIGHT
strike back!
what they started
battle cry!
of the tyrant race
with a fist in the air
& a finger in their face!
DON'T BE SILENT!
DON'T BE SILENT!
DON'T BE SILENT!
DON'T BE SILENT!
speak out
strike back
speak out
strike back
what they started
speak - FIGHT
strike back!
speak - FIGHT
strike back!
what they started
way they
can stop us
now
we fight or we die.

haha I'd MUCH rather hear "generic anti-war songs" than the "my girfriend left me and my parents ignored me, I'm pathetic" crap they play on the radio :]
sucks how the country is ruled by money... you dont see any rich person's kid going to war.. but you see billy done the street go to war.. fuck this shit... badass song
there's no way they can stop us now!!!! what we need 2 do STAND UP, SPEAK OUT
Great song, but ?I hate the lyrics...totally generic anti-war stuff.
Yeah...well...nobody cares what you think. you're stupid.

Do I see another wonderful song about the war and bush?
I really like the "it's a rich man's war but it's the poor that fight" part. I totally agree.
love the music. the lyrics are shit. is it so much to ask that an artist talk about something other than anti-war stuff? we all know war sucks and we all know bush sucks. NEXT SUBJECT.
Just because you dont want to listen to "anti-war stuff" doesnt mean you need to critisize it. If you would like to listen to your music about god, his holy son, sheep and flowers then be my guest. But you dont need to be a dipshit and say that some of the only good music left in this world is generic.

Skycmefalling & quaade-- its not likely your going to read this, but hey, i'll say it anyway... just the usual old anti-war song huh? lets hope we get some more bombs ay? then we can start making some pro war songs yeh? u dumbass.. say something constructive... u say next subject? like, ahh, its only war, who gives a fuck, i can sit on my ass and type shit on the net and i can NOT make music any better or do anything good, but hey, i'm still shallow enough to tell other people to do it beter... next subject? pfft...
now for what i really wanted to say before i was distracted by tards 1 & 2..
awesome song, great power in it, its a shame that it takes crap like this happening in the world to make such good music.. and yeh, its obviously about the illegal war..
look up the word illegal...
lmao i agree with everything you said to tards 1 and 2, as you called them. Nicely said. :)

Ah, this comment made my day. Thank you for that. They simply don't understand Otep. She's a genius, face it. Nobody can write words anymore meaningful than she. Such a brilliant mind.

not bad instrumentally...lyrically this song sucks. yeah political songs can be very good...if written well. This song, however, is not. it's like otep just watched the news one evening and took notes about the war.
''its a rich man's war but it's the poor that die''
mentioned several times in the song...and in about how many others as well. as far as the ''political rock'' aspect goes...this song doesn't push the boundaries at all.
as far as this band goes warhead is their anthem and shits all over this song.
love there anti war and bush songs they re so funny cause i totally hate bush and the war
I like Bush and I like OTEP "CRIES" I have conflicting interests
...Damn.
