Over the past month, live videos have begun to pop up of a new Bad Religion song, Resist-Stance, which they played on their recent tour. Unfortunately, the audio quality was too poor to make out all the words. Singer Greg Graffin was kind enough to provide The Bad Religion Page with official lyrics for the cut.
The band is currently getting ready to record their follow up to 2007’s New Maps of Hell. It is unclear whether Resist-Stance will be on the upcoming release, but with Graffin releasing lyrics it might be our first glimpse.
You can check out the lyrics and a live video here.
Seeds of rebellion lay outside your front door
If you nourish them and water them they’ll grow into a healthy what for?
And if revolution isn’t what’s in store
How can you care anymore?
It’s a dangerous slip,
a conscientious shift
In the spirit of resistance you gotta hold your grip
Lest the state of your resolve makes you quickly devolve to a fundamentalist
You’re an archetype
That they can pin to the wall
As you cling to all convictions like a farm animal in its stall
Never thinking of the bigger world outside
As they take you for a ride
It’s a dangerous slip,
a conscientious shift
In the spirit of resistance you gotta hold your grip
Because passion unabated will be readily conflated with belligerence
It’s a dangerous slip,
a conscientious shift
The spirit of resistance you gotta hold your grip
And the verdict won’t be kind ‘cuz they’re desperate for a viable alternative
Take a stance. The Resist stance.
