First time I've been put in lockdown in my life
But facebook has it in for me, much to my strife
They said you can't say that, so they took a lil bite
I said whatever happened to my First Amendment right
That only matters when you're saying what we think or want
If it's of your own opinion, maybe it's better if you don't
I still hear the Constitution swirling in my brain
Over and over that familiar refrain
Why can some people say what they want every day
When I tried that, they threw me away
They don't want to hear that I disagree with them
I have a different candidate, and it's not a whim
I value democracy and would never see it end
Yet that's what all the talk is, a change in the land
Lil red robes for all to wear to match that red hat
We'll be so matchy matchy that my gay friends will challenge that
Off will come the red robe and heels of black
That matches a candidates heart, such a sad sack
I will not be silenced in this land that I love
The home of the free and when push comes to shove
I will state my case as best I can
Forever resist people. Don't give into the man
We marched in the 60s, and we can do it again This is not the time to back down or refrain
Let them hear your voice if you want freedom to ring
If I'm not allowed to talk, then let them hear me sing
Don't let the man silence the rights that we keep
Hard fought by our veterans, from sea to shining sea
We can't let them win and change all life as we know it
I used to like red, but now it feels like a black pit
I'm still going to fight no matter what they say
It's alright for the other guy, and at the end of the day
I'd rather go speaking my truth and have the man come for me
Then sit in my closed room with the curtains drawn to flee
Be brave, my dear friends, and resist the lies they tell
Cover your nose to stave off the bad smell
I hope to be back one moment in time
I missed the deadline for my prime
I'm old,I know it, but I still have value
Maybe before I'm gone for good, a new day will come true
