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
