Otep Rise Rebel Resist Lyrics

perfect little spouses
in perfect little houses
it's family fun time
let's commit a hate crime

....if i can't be loved, then I'll be hated.

I'm disconnected
I'm uninspired
I'm burning in water
I'm drowning in fire

I'm trapped inside my mind
beneath these piles of stinking life
you use this abuse to keep me conquered
you're so absurdly common

vacant faces
brainless strangers

sputtering, stuttering insect language
I'm the creature you created
everyday i grow jaded
calloused and exasperated

if I'll never be loved
then I'll be hated

I'm one of the
freaks, the fagots,
the geeks, the savages,
rogues, rebels, dissident devils,
artists, martyrs, infidels ...

do we sit still
under attack?

or do we start pushing back?

never back up
never back down

& FIGHT.

I'm human pollution
I covet retribution
I'm just a big mistake
a defect you can subjugate

your ridicule is just typical antics
spineless, mindless, tragic, fanatic

puritan, bigot
lunatic, hypocrite

To save my soul from disaster
self-destruction could be the answer if I'll never be loved
then I'll be hated

I'm one of the
freaks, the fagots,
the geeks, the savages,
rogues, rebels, dissident devils,
artists, martyrs, infidels ...

do we sit still
under attack?

or do we start pushing back?

never back up
never back down

& FIGHT.

masochistic
so sadistic
all they see is another statistic

maybe I'm a misfit, maybe I'm different
it will never be an average existence

masochistic
so sadistic
all they see is another statistic

If I can't be loved
then I'll be hated

it's family fun time
let's commit a hate crime
