  • Protests in New York
    Listen to the call of the wild
    Brother, sisters carrying signs
    Breathe deep before it's too late
    The sky is falling, burning your eyes
    Down in New Orleans river's boiling
    Nothing living, nothing to eat
    Thank the lord, daddy's working eight to five
    Paying the doctor, baby's got cancer

    Give and take
    Has all we've learned been wrong?
    Look around at what we've been given
    Maybe we've taken too long

    Resistance shouts the man on the right
    Can't solve the problem overnight
    Resistance listen to the call of the wild

    Burning coal, got to keep the company warm as
    The rain keeps killing the trees
    Cut 'em down quick
    Pay the man his wage, he's making paper to fuel the "information age"
    Out in the mid west, hear the roar of the plough
    Turning grassland into sand
    Got to feed the people more every day
    But the wind keeps blowing the land away

    Give and take
    Has all we've learned been wrong?
    Look around at what we've been given
    Maybe we've taken too long

    Resistance shouts the man on the right
    Can't solve the problem overnight, resistance
    Liberal opposition crying violation
    Stop the madness, resistance
    Through the din, one voice we should hear
    Resistance listen to the call of the wild

    There's no easy solution
    The price is high, and it's time to pay
    Turn of the century vision
    Focused on a better way
    Resistance shouts the man on the right
    Can't solve the problem overnight

    Resistance liberal opposition crying violation
    Stop the madness resistance
    Through the din, one voice we should hear
    Resistance listen to the call of the wild Writer/s: GEOFF TATE, GEOFFERY TATE, MICHAEL WILTON
