[Intro]
 E   E   D    Ax4
[Verse]
ESeeds of rebellion lay Doutside your front dAoor
EIf you nourish them and water them they'll Dgrow into a Ahealthy what fGor?
And if rDevolution isn't what's in sAtore
How can you Bcare anymore?
[Chorus]
It's a Edangerous sDlip,
a cAonscientious Eshift
EIn the spirit of reDsistance you gAotta hold your Egrip
Lest the Gstate of your resolve makes you qDuickly devolve to a fAundamentalBist
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Solo]
(Over verse chords)
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental]
 E   E   D    Ax4
Take a stance. The resist stance. (x4)
