Resistance
Nicotine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're all standing up on the street
And walking every day
I'm gonna jump in a crowd to see
What I can do right now
I don't fit in society
(I don't care, I don't care)
I just want to be a punk rocker
(Entire my life, entire my life)

We're all standing up on the street
And walking every day
I'm gonna jump in a crowd to see
What I can do right now
I don't fit in society
(I don't care, I don't care)
I just want to be a punk rocker
(Entire my life, entire my life)

It's my destination
I want to free myself from my restraints
For my rights Go up high, go up high
On your own, on your own
Believe yourself and tomorrow is there
And find your way to your goal
Go up high, go up high
On your own, on your own
Believe yourself and tomorrow is there




And find your way to your goal
Go up high
