Black Flag - Rise Above [Henry Rollins lead singer]


Jealous cowards try to control Rise above We're gonna rise above They distort what we say Rise above We're gonna rise above Try and stop what we do Rise above When they can't do it themselves We are tired of your abuse Try to stop us it's no use Society's arms of control Rise above We're gonna rise above Think they're smart Can't think for themselves Rise above We're gonna rise above Laugh at us Behind our backs I find satisfaction In what they lack We are tired of your abuse Try to stop us it's no use We are born with a chance Rise above We're gonna rise above I am gonna have my chance Rise above We're gonna rise above We are tired of your abuse Try to stop us it's no use Rise above Rise above Rise above We're gonna rise above We're gonna rise above We're gonna rise above


Henry Rollins explained once why he rarely if ever took drugs or alcohol. He said something like, "What you see on stage is me with no alcohol or drugs, and my energy is off the charts. Can you imagine me on speed? No. That would not work."
