Текст песни

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
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 with
the conception of human rights, 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 occur at the hands of 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 the 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 speechmakers. 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
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
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
