They

What to think
How to think
When to think
Where to think
How long to think
What do you think?

They say, they pound their fist and say
Their faces turn red as rage fills their hearts as they say

You must do this you must not do that
You must eat this you must not eat that

You must believe this you must not believe that
You have to see this you better not see that

When to get up when to go to bed
When to live and when to lay down dead

I am so tired of hearing THEY talk
I am so tired of watching THEY squawk

Why can't They keep their hands of our shelves
And just let us think for ourselves
