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
