You Have No Right
They come around and preach to us,
tell us all how to live,
you should eat this, but don’t eat that,
this one you should sleep with,
buying this product makes you good
amongst the Church of Woke,
buying that makes you a sinner,
you’re cancelled, now go broke!
Your differences must be skin deep,
any others are wrong,
if you have a different outlook
then you can not go on!
They think they have it figured out,
no need for other views,
like any tyrant of the past,
I say this truth to you:
You have no right, you have no right,
you have no motherf-cking right,
so shut your mouth and shut it tight,
I’m telling you, you have no right.
They come around and inform us
that our Gods don’t exist,
that somehow we do children wrong
if we dare to persist.
That it’s okay for our daughters
to sleep around like guys,
and that our sons are all toxic,
that they’re made wrong inside,
that a two-parent family
is no better or worse,
then wonder why our kids are sick
and only feel the hurt.
Yet they still think they’re entitled
to tell us what is true?
Those who say human nature does
not exist in their view?
You have no right, you have no right,
you have no motherf-cking right,
go yourself into that long night,
but leave me out, you have no right.
They come around and want our guns,
because they don’t 'feel safe,'
they confuse us for gang-bangers
who murder, steal, and rape.
They will not dare go after them,
(they need them for the votes),
instead they project their fears on
us ordinary folk.
The mere idea of sovereignty
being trusted to one
is something that makes them cower,
the thought of using guns
in defense of you very rights
seems scary to their minds,
they have a child’s point of view,
'protected' all the time.
You have no right, you have no right,
you have no motherf-cking right,
Hands off, or you’ll have a real fight,
grow up and see, you have no right.
They come around and lock us up
inside our very homes,
claim that it will be ‘just two weeks,’
longest two weeks I’ve known.
All for a minor virus that
nobody can control,
they claim that it’s for ‘our own good,’
like any tyrant bold.
Stripping our freedoms one-by-one,
as they had always planned,
when we protest and call them out
they throw us in the slam,
only their side gets to protest,
they want us all to see,
if nanny-state doesn’t approve
your life’s a felony.
You have no right, you have no right,
you have no motherf-cking right,
you’re hanging corpse will be a sight,
don’t tread on us, you have no right.
