Refusal Lyrics
Sister, I won't let you go
I won't let them take you
Into the silence of our past divided
Brother, keep teaching the power
We only move together
Away from the past that made us fall apart
I refuse to run
And I will die before I kneel
In this life
I refuse to run
And I will die before I kneel
In this life
Systems of profits we punish
With love as our weapon
And unity
Unity, rebirth in fire
I refuse to run
And I will die before I kneel
In this life
I refuse to run
And I will die before I kneel
In this life
Are we crucified?
Did we defend our birthright?
Equality betrayed
With every hour a voice is lost
But every rage defies the cost
Embrace the whole world as your kin
Truth to truth and skin to skin
Begin!
I'm searching for an end to the bullshit reactions
Another way to separate us
An end to the bullshit of separation
Another way to keep us from truth
I refuse to run
And I will die before I kneel
No more!
I refuse to run
And I will die before I kneel
No more!

Probably one of my favorite SxA songs........can't get enough
this song is badass live. fuck off!!!!!!!!!
"I refuse to run and I will die before I kneel in this life" I love that, amazing song.
At one of their shows Thomas said this song is about the oppression of woman at the hands of men and how he wishes for total equality amongst the two genders. You can see the correlations throughout the song.... pure genious.
Kuck, I don't think I've ever been further from understanding the plain of someone else's thinking. I'm being completely serious.
There's no x in Strike Anywhere :).
Yeah please, DO NOT put an X in strike anywhere. You're laming up a fucking awesome band...
the 'x' signifies hardcore.
It signifies straight edge, and they're not straight edge. Still there are good straight edge bands such as Set It Straight
This is possibly one of the worst songs I have ever listened to. I haven't gotten through this whole song, because after 1 minute it gives me a headache. This band is a very good example of shitty, banal, and sell-out music today. Ha, I bet these talentless pieces of shit didn't even sell-out. That even makes them twice as bad as they are. The only reason I keep this song on my computer is for good amusement.
You obviously have no taste in good music. Strike Anywhere is one of the best bands I have ever had the chance of listening to. Their music captures the modern world in a way that people can't see anymore. Fuck you.
