Not to Fight, But Just to Exist

If you've never listened to Operation Ivy, they're worth a listen. Old-school punk, some may remember them as "Rancid" at one point. When I really need to get energized, I listen to their album (Operation Ivy only made one). It is best when turned up very, very loud.

Take Warning
By Operation Ivy

Stand by your friends, wrong or right
can't call that justice
when its just a stupid excuse to fight
single out and attack
the ones who got no defense
you call that a new way of thinking
I call it regression to ignorance

Take warning, take warning

There's a new generation coming
and we really gotta stand up to them

Nobody's got a thing against you
unless you've got something to prove
we don't need no set of standards
we don't need a new set of rules
heard all that shit before
about stomping out any difference
we say stand together
not to fight, but just to exist

Intimidation coming at us
and we gotta say no to them
Take warning, take warning

Enough is enough is enough
why don't you just ease up?
I saw another beatdown last night, take warning
who's the next to hit the ground tonight, take warning, take warning.
