Respect Existence or Expect Resistance

from Scenarios of Brutality by Violator

/

about

When living is a privilege, occupy is a right. The resistance of the families of the Pinheirinho slum in Sao Jose dos Campos, struggling not to leave their homes to be destroyed by the corrupt game of speculation, inspired popular resistance movements and housing rights throughout Brazil. The reaction and organization seen there are examples of how not to bow your head to the authoritarianism of the State.

lyrics

In defiance with your greed
We will reclaim the streets
Ready to fight to dethrone you
We won't accept to be your waste

Organized we will stay
'Cause living is not a benefit
Your pretention of control
Has found and imminent end

Must respect existence
Or expect resistance

We have taken this land
Forgotten and left to die
Created our own destiny
And put our lives in our hands

Now you come with brutality
Police aggressors by your side
But as long as we exist
We will get strength to resist

From acceptance to resistance
From confirmity to reaction

Gas bombs - burning eyes
A violent strike - you now die
A last breath - afflicted cries
Injustice wounds - it's time to fight
