You have the right to remain silent and accept your lot as
handed you
Conforming through your own unwillingness to object
Adhere to the path of least resistance mapped out in your best
interest
By the ones presumptuous enough to decide
They have the authority to mold your mind
You also have the right to speak, some indeed consider this
their obligation
Goaded by frustration at others dictation
They voice their vision and reclaim their right to make their
own decision
Never to be overridden
Recognize your right to raise your voice wielding
The weapon of choice
Defending where you stand on what you're standing for
The weapon of choice
Targeting detractors threats cannot be ignored
The weapon of choice
Dissent initiates the detriment
Of the woes of discontent
Implanted notions cause distress, lifescript penned under duress
Waxing schizophrenic many thought processes repressed
Misdirection thwarts progress, sieze opportunity to digress
Denied the freedom to decide now with revolution obsessed
When true purpose is realized price of misspent time is
magnified
For irretrievable days you grieve
Chances ride as loaded chambers turn your fate they will decide
Odds swayed in favour of the brave
You have the right to remain silent and accept your lot as
handed you
Conforming through unwillingness to object
Adhere to the path of least resistance mapped out in your best
interest
By the ones presumptuous enough to decide
They have the capacity to change your mind
You also have the right to speak, some indeed consider this
their obligation
Goaded by frustration at others dictation
They voice their vision and reclaim their right to make their
own decision
Never to be overridden
Exercise your right to raise your voice armed with
The weapon of choice
Defending where you stand on what you're standing for
The weapon of choice
Targeting detractors threats will not be ignored
The weapon of choice
Dissent initiates the detriment
Of your woes of discontent
Never bow to those who seek to keep you silent
Though they try to quell your voice
They cannot destroy the weapon of choice!
