HELL NO!



HELL NO!

You want me to be quiet
HELL NO!
You order me to be silent
HELL NO!
You tell me not to say
The things I need to say
I'll be shouting it all the way
HELL NO!

You say to relax and trust you
You're the Government, we belong to you
Freedom means restriction, how dare you offend!
Liberty is only submission in the end

I'll say it once more
HELL NO!
I'll shout it from my core
HELL NO!
I'll not bow to the upsurer's throne
I'll face the fire, and the stone
Stand even if I stand alone
HELL NO!

"I'm from the government, here to help"
Chains in hand, whips to whelp
Keep looking at the flowers on the wall
While you're taken to the cell down the hall

You say it's for the greater good
HELL NO!
Think things I say you should
HELL NO!
Independence is highly overrated
For Government dependence you're slated
Once again as I've previously stated
HELL NO!

Truth is offensive, our lies you serve
We'll give you everything you deserve
Don't worry what powers we hoard
We're your masters, your god, your lord!

Tell me to forget His grace
HELL NO!
Tell me my faith is out of place
HELL NO!
That all gods wear a different face
Why pick just one in any case
But I'll spit it in your face
HELL NO!

Don't you dare disagree, its racist
Free thinking makes you a facist
Love is hate, unless its our way
We'll tell you exactly what to say

Tell me I've got to obey
HELL NO!
That its just got to be this way
HELL NO!
Patriotism is racism's guise
Obedience order and safety buys
All we've got to do is whisper your lies
HELL NO!

You're liberties are privileges, you have no rights
Race doesn't matter, but shame on the whites
We'll protect you, don't worry, give up your gun
You're free to obey, just like everyone

You want me to be quiet
HELL NO!
You order me to be silent
HELL NO!
You tell me not to say
The things I need to say
I'll be shouting it all the way
HELL NO!
