Refuse/Resist is the Brazilian band Sepultura’s fourth single, released in 1993. Max Cavalera claims to have been inspired for the song by seeing the phrase “Protest and survive/Refuse and resist” on a man’s leather jacket on the New York subway.
The English hardcore punk band Discharge had a song entitled Protest and Survive on their Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing debut album released in 1982.
