Incredible song remember getting hype to this senior high at Lincoln high class 01 on my portable cd player

this part feels oddly personal (probably because I use they/it)

Beyond

[Verse 1]
They’re telling us the world is changing
Like we should just accept defeat
“Adapt or die,“ they’re arranging
The narrative to keep us meek
Well I say screw their rhetoric
It’s just oppression renamed
A brand new coat on old pollution
Same power structure, unashamed

[Chorus]
I WON’T BEND MY KNEE!
I WON’T BEND MY KNEE!
Fascists only rise when we
BEND OUR FUCKING KNEES!

[Verse 2]
Black boots march down sanitized streets
While talking heads say “it’s progress“
They sell us comfort in our defeat
As freedom dies in their process
They didn’t seize power overnight
They measured how far you would kneel
Tested boundaries without a fight
To see what they could freely steal

[Chorus]
I WON’T BEND MY KNEE!
I WON’T BEND MY KNEE!
Fascists only rise when we
BEND OUR FUCKING KNEES!

[Bridge]
The world isn’t changing
We’re surrendering ground
Every inch we give up
Is where their strength is found
They didn’t defeat us
We defeated ourselves
When we nodded in silence
And put our rage on shelves!

[Verse 3]
They say this is the new normal
A world where resistance is naive
Where questioning becomes informal
Crime against what they believe
But normal is what we make it
And I refuse to play along
My spine was never meant to break
And neither was your battle song

[Final Chorus]
I WON’T BEND MY KNEE!
I WON’T BEND MY KNEE!
Fascists only rise when we
BEND OUR FUCKING KNEES!
STAND UP! FIGHT BACK!
STAND UP! FIGHT BACK!
UNBENT! UNBOWED! UNBROKEN!
