|
They planned every detail, nothing could go wrong, Control the youth to keep the country strong |
|
An assigned occupation and a place to stay, One brushstroke paints the whole world grey |
|
With no individual, no room for dissent, The police came and off to jail he went |
|
No grudges though he had no hate, For the ones who made a god their state |
|
(Chorus) |
|
{you can take what you want from me But you'll never rob me of my dignity, Dignity} |
|
Dignity is a matter of self-respect, gotta be what you are not what others expect |
|
His spirit was strong, he had no shame, for the political slime that was to blame |
|
They beat him no matter what he said, Couldn't destroy what was in his head |
|
He was the object of hate and anger, What didn't destroy him made him stronger |
|
(Chorus) |
|
Summertime for the kids on the street, they're laughing, learning and running from the police |
|
They won't accept mediocrity, They won't let others control their destiny |
|
Wherever it is you go from here, Your fault if you are controlled by fear |
|
You're lucky as hell to live so free, So stand and fight for your dignity |
