a killer hit from the 1993 hit album "Counterparts" by the Canadian progressive/hard rock band Rush. A great inspirational and uplifting (and rocking) tune to listen to when you're the minority on a certain point of view, people around you behave like programmed androids that question nothing and can't think for themselves, and you know that you are right.
... Stick it out
Don't swallow the poison Spit it out
Don't swallow the lies
Stick it out
Don't swallow your anger Spit it out
Don't swallow your pride Stick it out
Stick it out...

You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. PenguinBooks,1992. p. 38)
