Aggravated (Live In Houston 7/6/88)

歌詞

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
