Speak No Evil

Freedom of choice

To use your voice

Not something that I've ever seen enforced

Free to meek

But not to speak

Free to watch all of your rhetoric repeating



Free to decide

To just let things slide

I'm free to be

However you want me

Bad news today

Sorry to say

You've been declined an open mind



So you can shut your mouth

Shut it down

Has the point gotten through

Shut your mouth

Keep it down



When you're not here

It would seem so clear

Be what you like, see what you like and have no fear, but like

Big kids at school

Consumed by cool

Trained to spit on all exceptions to the rule



Inside your mind

You feel so confined

It's hard to breathe

You can't get no release

Boxed in and left out

You wanna shout

You wanna rant, you know you can't



So you just shut your mouth

Shut it down

Has the point gotten through

Shut your mouth

You keep it down



Oh boy, there's no tellin' you

Hot today

What you say

Now you got your point made

I think you made a mistake

Leaving this up to fate

For you to say

That ok, ok, ok



Freedom of choice

To use your voice

Not something that I've ever seen enforced

But I'm boxed in and left out

You wanna shout

You wanna rant, you know you can't



So you just shut your mouth

Shut it down

Has the point gotten through

Shut your mouth

Keep it down



Oh boy, there's no tellin' you

Shut your mouth

Shut your mouth now

Do you know who you're talkin' to?

Shut your mouth

You keep it down
