Tyranny

All that I ask is to be left in peace

Don't cause me harm or give me grief

We don't make a lot of noise or harm anyone

So why can't we have a little fun?

Or has that, too, been declared illegal?

Somehow that seems to be a bit medieval

Just who was it who made the rules

Bureaucrats, statesmen and other fools

Nobody asked for my opinion

On the state of this great nation we live in

No one asked me if I wanted to vote

On whether or not to legalize dope

I cannot recall ever being asked

If I wanted my children to pray in class

It occurs to me with some irony

That the land of the free is ruled with tyranny
