My Petition |
| You say you mean good for me But you don’t do it You say you have a plan but you just don’t go thru with it You say you know the way to go And I should follow |
| But all of your empty promises |
| Leave me hollow |
| And oh How do I trust you |
| How do I love you |
| When you |
| Lie to me repeatedly |
| And oh How do I have faith, in you |
| When you just don’t come thru |
| Like you say you could |
| Oh, say can you see |
| You say that I’m wrong for |
| Stating my opinion to you |
| You say that I’m wrong and there’ll be quiet consequences too |
| But I know my rights babe |
| There’ll be no law abridging |
| The freedom of my speech |
| Or the right for me to petition for a remedy of grievances |
| And I want to trust you |
| I want to love yeah |
| But you lie to me repeatedly |
| And oh I want to have faith in you |
| But you just don’t come thru |
| Like you said you could |
| Oh say can you see |
| Hmmm |
| I want fresh fruit, clean water, |
| Air that I don’t see |
| I want the feeling of being safe on my streets |
| I want my children to be smarter than me I want, I want to feel |
| I want to feel, I want to feel free |
| For real ya’ll |
| I’m just telling you so you know |
| I want to, I want to have faith in you |
| I really do but you keep lying to me It hurts |
| I believe, I believe you owe it me Give it to me like you said you would |
| Hmmm |
| Oh say can you see |
| Hmmm |
| Oh say can you see |
| Oohh say can you see |
| Hmmm |
| By the dawn’s early light |
