| You can be what you want to be
|
| They may try to say you’re no good
|
| Never worry 'bout what they may think
|
| Cause you are responsible for only you
|
| They may try to take away your freedom
|
| Scold and mold you at the same time
|
| But remember you be only you
|
| And don’t let the system influence you
|
| They don’t say what we need to know
|
| The more they do the less we control
|
| They don’t say what we need to know
|
| The more they do the less we control
|
| 'Cause when it comes to truth, they cover it up
|
| They keep makin' the rules, keeping us in the dark
|
| If they knock you down, get back on up
|
| Don’t try to get by, try to move ahead
|
| Peace is all that the people see
|
| But bad news is all we hear about
|
| Understanding is the only way
|
| But they must first tell the truth about it
|
| Complications along the way
|
| Make you wonder if it’s all in vain
|
| Is this dream promised to us all
|
| Or just the wealthy and the ones in power |
