No
Rights
Got a call from John Ashcroft.
He's watching me real close.
Said I couldn't protest the American way.
Bugged the shop, searched the house,
Watches were my computer goes.
When he chooses, I'm sure to be hauled in some day...
(Chorus:)
You can't make no inquiry, because you have no
rights.
He is not going to tell when his boys searched
your home.
He says "Watch what you say," and what's more,
bugged the phone lines.
You cannot lead your own life; be left alone!
John Ashcroft said he will not offer you a legal chance.
He only said your rights are gone, strictly through circumstance.
Who knows how long?
Don't say he's wrong.
'Cause if you speak your mind,
It could mean jail time.
He will tell you: "You can't think, 'cause dissent
has no place."
Soon he'll tell you you can't vote for somebody else.
Ah, but sooner or later you'll think he's a disgrace.
Better watch what you say, or be locked in a cell...
