Lyrics:
No one can ever tell you what to do
Beware their words
So many quick to point the finger
Without pointing their way first
There's so much we take for granted
Take control and speak your voice
Don't let them get the upper hand
Before you have no choice
In some countries even today
Police officers may search a person's home or office
For evidence of wrongdoing, cease his property
And arrest him whenever they see fit
Whenever
Whenever they see fit
In the United States on the other hand
The Fourth Amendment protects the individual
And his property from unreasonable search and seizure
By officers of the law
Double Jeopardy, the Fifth Amendment
Also guarantees the individual that he will not be tried
Before a federal court more than once for the same crime
No one can ever tell you what to do
Beware their words
So many quick to point the finger
Without pointing their way first
There's so much we take for granted
Take control and speak your voice
Don't let them get the upper hand
Before you have no choice
A knock at the door whether by day or night
As a prelude to a search without authority of law
But solely on the authority of police, is inconsistent

Enshrined in the history of basic constitutional documents
Of English speaking peoples
Although the sanctity of ones privacy against illegal intrusion
Is one of the most important basic rights in our Constitution
Experiences show that such intrusions occasionally occur
At the hands of overzealous police officers
Overzealous police officers
No one can ever tell you what to do
Beware their words
So many quick to point the finger
Without pointing their way first
There's so much we take for granted
Take control and speak your voice
Don't let them get the upper hand
Before you have no choice
Freedom of speech and freedom of press
The right to speak his mind is close
To the heart of every American
The constitution prohibits most forms of censorship
Over the press and speech makers
The argument against censorship is clear
No government official should be permitted
To dictate what ideas or beliefs we are entitled to hear or believe
Both good and evil should be averted by more speech
And not enforced silence, enforced, enforced silence
Similarly while a person is free
To make speeches on public streets
He may be prevented from doing so
When he uses a loud or raucous amplifier
Which disturbs the public tranquility
No one can ever tell you what to do
Beware their words
So many quick to point the finger
Without pointing their way first
Beware their words
So many quick to point the finger
Without pointing their way first
There's so much we take for granted
Take control and speak your voice
Don't let them get the upper hand
Before you have no choice
In some countries even today
Police officers may search a person's home or office
For evidence of wrongdoing, cease his property
And arrest him whenever they see fit
Whenever
Whenever they see fit
