lyrics

when the sunshine ignites
yet our generation never learned how to fight
when the winter walks you home
and sleeps with your bones
when the brittle pages crackle
and the ideas are hard to tackle
when the ignorant frown
and bow their heads to the ground:
don't acquiesce! don't acquiesce!
i say "don't acquiesce!"
when the espresso brews too much
and you hate the hot water's touch
when the branches reach down to poke
and you notice the absence of hope
don't acquiesce!
but when affection chases after you
catches up and smothers you
i say "acquiesce."
