- Surrender Under Protest Lyrics / with translationsFrom the comfort zone of history
On the lips of trusted loved ones
To the lonely, fragile minds of angry youths
No sooner was it over
Than the memory made it nobler
The selective means by which to point the view
Compelled, but not defeated
Surrender under protest if you must
Compelled, but not defeated
If it's all you can remember
Then it's been that way forever
And for six long generations it's been told
But among the fallen was tradition
That tradition was the mission
And that the wrongness of the sin was not the goal
Compelled, but not defeated
Surrender under protest if you must
Compelled, but not defeated
Does the color really matter?
On the face you blame for failure
On the shamin' for a battle's losing cause
If the victims and aggressors
Just remain each others others
And the instigators never fight their own
Compelled, but not defeated
Surrender under protest if you must
Compelled, but not defeated
Surrender under protest if you must
Surrender under protest if you must
On the lips of trusted loved ones
To the lonely, fragile minds of angry youths
No sooner was it over
Than the memory made it nobler
The selective means by which to point the view
Compelled, but not defeated
Surrender under protest if you must
Compelled, but not defeated
If it's all you can remember
Then it's been that way forever
And for six long generations it's been told
But among the fallen was tradition
That tradition was the mission
And that the wrongness of the sin was not the goal
Surrender under protest if you must
Compelled, but not defeated
Does the color really matter?
On the face you blame for failure
On the shamin' for a battle's losing cause
If the victims and aggressors
Just remain each others others
And the instigators never fight their own
Compelled, but not defeated
Surrender under protest if you must
Compelled, but not defeated
Surrender under protest if you must
Surrender under protest if you must
