lyrics

Yesterday I walked the streets free to be what I wanted to be,
Today I find I'm suddenly not allowed to be me
I see I'm not good enough any more.

So won't you please tell me why what used to be fine is so wrong
Or were you planning this backstabbing all along?
Please explain 'cause I just don't understand

Well I'm not sitting back and letting you walk all over me so

You say that we're all equal?
Well I guess some are just more equal than me and
Everyone has a right to make their own choice
But if it's not what you want then you'll just hide us away.
All you did is take your discrimination
And turn it on its head, wrap it up in silver paper,
Tie it with gold ribbon, sprinkle it with glitter,
And call it free society.

Yesterday I had the freedom to believe what I thought was right
Today I find I have to shape my views to fit your mould tight
I'm not trusted enough any more.

So won't you please tell me why we all have to bend to your ways
When our own worked fine until you got in the way?
Please explain 'cause it just doesn't make sense.

Well I'm not sitting back and letting you walk all over me so

You say that we're all equal?
Well I guess some are just more equal than me and
Everyone has a right to make their own choice
But if it's not what you want then you'll just hide us away.
All you did is take your discrimination
And turn it on its head, wrap it up in silver paper,
Tie it with gold ribbon, sprinkle it with glitter,
And call it free society.

Well by all means do what you think best
But don't think that your opinions are better than all the rest
We're not trying to undermine your authority
But I think you'll find we're no silent minority

Well I'm not sitting back and letting you walk all over me so

You say that we're all equal?
Well I guess some are just more equal than me and
Everyone has a right to make their own choice
But if it's not what you want then you'll just hide us away.
All you did is take your discrimination
And turn it on its head, wrap it up in silver paper,
Tie it with gold ribbon, sprinkle it with glitter,
And call it free society.
