Know your rights
And know your wrongs
And know the content of all your songs
Know your rights
And know your wrongs
'Cause in the conflicts we drown
The world in which we round
Know your rights
Know your wrongs
Know the content of your songs
What you say and what you've sung
What you'll do and what you've done
Know your rights
Know your wrongs
Know the shorts and know the longs
Everything we do ya see
Comes back to you and me
Those who speak the loudest are those with the least to say
Know your wrongs
And know your rights
'Cause in the conflicts we make
We seal our own fates
Gimme history
Gimme books
Forget the pop music hooks
Give me something tangible
Some you can't hold or feel
Passed for genuine, we hear it all the time
Well if you dissent
In your government
And put it in a song
You'd better know your rights
Or they'll come at night
And take you for your wrongs
Of the fall and of the eb
We are all part of the web
What we do unto ourselves
We do to everybody else
And know your wrongs
And know the content of all your songs
Know your rights
And know your wrongs
'Cause in the conflicts we drown
The world in which we round
Know your rights
Know your wrongs
Know the content of your songs
What you say and what you've sung
What you'll do and what you've done
Know your rights
Know your wrongs
Know the shorts and know the longs
Everything we do ya see
Comes back to you and me
Those who speak the loudest are those with the least to say
Know your wrongs
And know your rights
'Cause in the conflicts we make
We seal our own fates
Gimme history
Gimme books
Forget the pop music hooks
Give me something tangible
Some you can't hold or feel
Passed for genuine, we hear it all the time
Well if you dissent
In your government
And put it in a song
You'd better know your rights
Or they'll come at night
And take you for your wrongs
Of the fall and of the eb
We are all part of the web
What we do unto ourselves
We do to everybody else
