DIGNITY


They planned every detail, nothing could go wrong
Conntrol the youth to keep the country strong
An assigned occupation and a place to stay
1 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

 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

 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

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
Where ever it is you go from here
You'r fault if you are controlled by fear
You're lucky as hell to live so free
So stand and fight for your dignity
