a hopeless situation, think before you state your views
constraint on self expression, on freedom of speach,
and a right to the truth
step into the future with laws from the past
persecution and suppression on the publics right to life
freedom of speach, yes, but for the biggoted minority
the ones who think they're paragons,
dictators of authority

minimum resistance,
but enough to make your point
no need for violent outbreaks,
or to tear up all the joint
actions may speak louder,
than the words you want to say
all that children learn,
when buildings burn,
is violence doesn't pay

people on the streets, trying so hard, just to get by
their anger silhouetted ?neath the glow of the evening sky
a neighbourhood, too quik to fall,
with residential march
as police infringe on the voter's rights,
the politicians laugh

again, once more the actions of the few,
have cost the rest of us dear
so now if we fight,
we have to scribe, black on white
leaving our mark to defend
a petitioned written word,
the only way to be heard
the injustice of it all takes it's toll
for those we put in power,
are found wanton come the hour,
the white papers take control
