We Resist

Written by Jim Moginie

Duration 5:18

From the album Resist

Putting flowers into guns
This is not the summer of love
Throwing tea into the sea
Indigenous apology

Only if
We resist
Its a storm without end
Where's the lighthouse? Where's a friend?
Come to think
It can't last
Only if
We resist

Free market and labour rights
Women's vote and hunger strikes
War is over in times square
Please don't say that nobody cares
Standing up to those who sell fear
With a polite insistence to hear

Only if
We resist
Its a storm without end
Where's the lighthouse? Where's a friend?
Come to think
It can't last
Only if
We resist
