Whistleblower

I’d rather be a whistleblower Fighting for the right Then just another thistle grower Plucking out of sight A whistleblower blows to be The keeper of our crimes A thistle-mower painfully Is catching hell at times The whistleblower wants to break The folk who fake on us The thistle-grower wants to make The poke redeem the pus Oh cautiously but selflessly The whistleblower blows Oh warily but carefully The thistle-grower goes The whistleblower fearlessly Is fanning freedom's flame The thistle-grower tearfully Is plucking just the same.
