Red Hen Revenge
I SEE WE HAVE
TWO DIFFERENT VIEWS.
ONE FOR ME
AND ONE FOR YOU.
DO POLITICIANS TELL YOU,
THE THINGS YOU NEED TO DO.
I ELECTED THEM.
MY FRIEND I'M NOT A FOOL.
YOU MAY BE RIGHT,
I MIGHT BE WRONG.
IT DOES'NT MEAN
I DON'T BELONG.
IT MAKES SENSE TO YOU,
BUT NOT TO ME.
I GET THE SENSE
THAT YOUR NOT FREE.
LOOK LEFT AND RIGHT,
UP AND DOWN.
CAN WE BOTH AGREE
THE WORLD IS ROUND.
WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN,
THE STARS COME OUT.
THEY WERE THERE ALL ALONG.
I HAVE NO DOUBT.
WHEN THE SUN COMES UP,
THE OTHER SIDE'S NIGHT.
ARE YOU WRONG,
OR ARE WE RIGHT.
WE HAVE TO EAT,
SO, CAN WE BREAK BREAD.
OR DO YOU PREFER,
TO EAT ALONE INSTEAD.
DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE,
BETWEEN RIGHT AND LEFT.
NORTH AND SOUTH
EAST AND WEST.
PLEASE, TAKE A MOMENT.
LOOK DEEP OUT INTO SPACE.
TRY TO CONVINCE ME.
THERE IS NO OTHER PLACE.
WHEN YOU GET HUNGRY,
DO YOU EAT.
WHEN YOU GET TIRED,
DO YOU STAND ON YOUR FEET.
IF YOUR FREEDOM IS TAKEN,
WHAT WILL YOU DO.
FIGHT FOR WHAT'S YOURS.,
OR GO ALONG LIKE A FOOL.
I'M NOT CONVINCED
LEFT IS RIGHT.
DARK IS DAY
AND NIGHT IS LIGHT.
I'M NOT OWNED BY GOVERNMENT.
THE GOVERNMENT WORKS FOR WE.
I AM NOT A PROPERTY.
I MY FRIEND THINK FREE.
HOW WE SEE,
HOW OTHERS THINK.
CAN CHANGE OUR LIVES
IN JUST A BLINK.
