I don't know how many times I've said it
But I say it 'cause it's on my mind
I'm too scared to know what the world is
I just wanna know that I'll be alive
I used to think that I lived in the land of
The land of the brave and free
Now I know how it is in the real world
The Big Man runs reality
Don't tell me no
Don't tell me no
I already know
So don't tell me no
Everyone has told me for all of my life
That I should go and get a degree
So I enrolled but this is not the college
That matters from what I can see
I don't live in fear even though I know that
Speaking out could get me killed
Someone has to speak for all of us
And I shall if nobody will
Don't tell me no
Don't tell me no
I already know
So don't tell me no
Don't tell me no
Don't tell me no
I already know
So don't tell me no
Don't tell me no
Don't tell me no
I already know
So don't tell me no
Don't tell me no
Don't tell me no
I already know
So don't tell me no
