Someone Else Will
Refusing Subjugation: Defiance Against Manipulation and Control
Lyrics
I ain't gonna laugh at this no more
I refuse to find humor in this situation any longer.
Or let it just slip by
I won't allow it to pass without notice or comment.
I ain't gonna watch this till I choke on the lie
I won't endure watching this until it suffocates me with deceit.
I ain't gonna take this anymore
I won't tolerate this any further.
I ain't sitting quiet
I won't remain silent or passive.
You can tranquilize my mind with phony hope
You may try to sedate my thoughts with false optimism.
I don't buy it, no, I don't buy it
I'm not convinced by it, I don't believe it.
'Cause you will kill me when you have to
You will cause harm when necessary.
And you will tie me to the table
You will restrain me forcefully.
And you will tell me that you don't want to
You will claim you don't wish to do so.
But if you don't, yeah, you know someone else will
If you abstain, someone else will inflict harm.
You know someone else will
This danger is imminent from another source.
And I ain't gonna listen anymore
I won't lend my ears to this any longer.
Obedient and polite
I won't be obedient and courteous.
And I ain't letting killers so like me sleep tonight
I won't let murderers like me sleep peacefully tonight.
And I ain't gonna play my part no more
I won't play my assigned role any longer.
Their sentence, it ain't right
The punishment or judgment is unjust.
'Cause you can think you're free but I'll leave you
You may believe you're free, but I'll make you serve my punishment.
To serve my time, serve my time
I'll make you endure the consequences.
'Cause you will kill me when you have to
You will cause harm when necessary.
And you will tie me to the table
You will restrain me forcefully.
And you will tell me that you don't want to
You will claim you don't wish to do so.
But if you don't, yeah, you know someone else will
If you abstain, someone else will inflict harm.
You know someone else will
This danger is imminent from another source.
You know someone else will
This threat is real and can come from someone else.
You know someone else will
This danger is imminent from another source.
