Classified By Franklin Price 6/7/2017 Why are some things classified? Only for some the right to know What could it hurt for all to see? I think I have the right to show What could it hurt to tell some friends? They won't run and tell the tale They know I'm sworn to secrecy Know I could end up in the jail That is the quandary that I'm in I think the whistle I should blow Would cause a stir on issues now I think that all the world should know Why it's secret is not right Although I know that all's not known I cannot feed the furor now Unless I throw the dog a bone If I let known this classified And it starts war within a week Won't be my fault, I thought it right To let this information leak Don't blame me, it's not my fault If we look back and millions died Would not have stolen from the vault If there was nothing classified
