Virtue

i wish there was more eloquent way
to make sure you stayed out of my way
I’ll be the one
yea, the first to raise the issue
of my mind, my choice, my freedom, my virtue

freedom of assembly
with a permit of course
and know well
you could always use your force
in a land of freedom and choice
i scream loud but you never hear my voice

so how dare you tell me what to do
you don’t know half of things that I’ve been through
i’ve been dealing with people like you all my life
and I’m tired of doing what you say is right
you’re wrong

to the boy with the sixes
the girl with the dreams
beware things aren’t always what they seem
look hard at all the things that you’re taught
learn well from the things that you’re not

how dare they tell us what to do
they don’t know half of things that we’ve been through
we’ve been dealing with people like them all our lives
and we’m tired of doing what they say is right
they’re wrong

to the boy with the sixes
the girl with the dreams
beware things aren’t always what they seem
look hard at all the things that you’re taught
learn well from the things that you’re not
