    Title: “Too Nice to Obey”

    (A Punk Rock Anthem of Kindness & Rebellion)

    [Verse 1]

    They tell you to fall in line,

    To bow your head and march in time.

    Obey the rules, don’t make a scene,

    Keep your heart locked up, keep your hands clean.

    But I see through their twisted game,

    Control through fear, control through shame.

    They want us cold, they want us cruel,

    But kindness breaks their rigid rule!

    [Chorus]

    I’m too nice to obey, too soft to hate,

    I hug friends, not the police state.

    They preach war, I show love,

    That’s my weapon, that’s my shove!

    [Verse 2]

    They scream “be tough, don’t give an inch,”

    Empathy’s for the weak, compassion’s a glitch.

    But kindness burns like gasoline,

    A rebel’s heart that won’t turn mean.

    They push us down, they make us fight,

    Turn us into pawns in black and white.

    But we paint the world in brighter hues,

    With open arms and worn-out shoes.

    [Bridge] (shouted call and response)

    “They say hate!” (We say no!)

    “They say fear!” (Let it go!)

    “They say fight!” (We say care!)

    “Revolution’s everywhere!”

    [Breakdown]

    We’ll be the thorn inside their side,

    With every hug, we’ll watch them slide.

    They can’t control what they don’t own,

    Love’s a riot, let it grow!

    [Outro] (gang vocals, chant)

    Kindness is rebellion!

    Love is insurrection!

    Fascists fall when we stand tall—

    Too nice to break, too strong to crawl!
