Authoritarian attitudes change the way we live
 No one seems to realize how much we have to give
 They label us as stupid don't listen to a word we say
 But we'll just keep fighting, soon we'll have our day
 Is this democracy or authoritarian rule
 Land of the free, but we're treated like fools
 If they'd just listen, I know for sure they'd find
 It's not a lot of noise, we also have minds
 I'm tired of being treated as a second rate citizen
 I'm no different except that I protest
 Is that a crime or am I truly free?
 How did it all start, I can't begin to guess
 They don't give us a chance, I think they are afraid
 Of what we might say would upset the life they made
 They keep telling us what they feel is wrong
 But there's so much more, so I put it in a song
 We can't sit by as they diminish our lives away
 They can't keep us down, they're resistance disapates
 Seeing their faults, I can't turn my head
 I just sit and smile as my feelings turn to hate
