Resist - Janis Ian (Video by Carol Waechter)

"Resist" by Janis Ian. Listen here: http://ffm.to/resist.oyd From the forthcoming album 'The Light At The End Of The Line.' Pre-order the album here: https://ffm.to/thelightattheendoftheline.oyd From Janis: "For me, 'Resist' is the logical outgrowth of 'Society's Child' and 'At Seventeen'. It speaks to the same issues, in a completely different way. And while I played the acoustic and sang lead, credit to Randy Leago for playing and singing everything else on this track, arranging, and co-producing. There are a couple of 'Easter eggs' buried in there too, if you can hear them!" * Lyrics below at the end. Follow www.bettertimeswillcome.com/ for hundreds of downloads from mp3s to coloring pages.

She is. She is. She is. She is. She is She is. She is. She is too short too fat too skinny Too tall too plain too pretty Too hot too wet too sticky Too… picky Oh, what an ugly girl. Oh, what an ugly girl. Put her in high heels, so she can’t run Carve out between her legs so she can’t come Get her a dress, for easy access Tell everybody that she’s just like all the rest How long? How long, how long, how long How long? How long, how long, how long Tell me I’m ugly so I’ll buy your crap Tell me you want me ‘cause I don’t talk back Tell me I carry the original sin Tell me I’m holy when I cover up my skin Tell me that my body bears a permanent stain Tell me we can marry if I give up my name Call me your baby so I never grow up Tell me you love me when you only want to fu-fu-fu- Funny how I whisper and you think it’s a roar You ask me to the table then you seat me on the floor You want me to be sexy. You want me to be pure. I cannot be your virgin and I will not be your whore. Resist. Resist resist resist. Resist. Resist resist resist. It’s a funny kind of thing, when you sing a little song and you get a couple people to sing along It’s the power of community. Authenticity changes your reality I know it’s hard to believe when they’re yelling in your ear and it’s the only voice you’re able to hear But you raise up your fist and you learn to resist and you say “I will not disappear” I will not disappear. I will not disappear. I will not disappear, I will not disappear. I will not disappear. Resist. Resist resist resist. Resist. Resist resist resist. Resist, resist, resist. Resist, resist, resist, resist Resist
