Speaking Your Mind
Where went the time
Where we could speak our minds
And not be afraid
We'd be threatened for our lives
What's good for the goose
Is not the gander the same
How tight or loose is the noose
On which they have us hang
When you say what you want
When you speak your mind
They tell you what to do so you don't
Step out of the line
As long as your point's the same
As their point of view
You're allowed to do and say
What they want you to
Can't have you out on your own
Giving others rays of hope
When they've kept them in the dark this long
On the things that they should know
When you go completely rouge
You'll find they do not like
While trying to tarnish your halo
When speaking your own mind
