When all you want to do is speak your mind
Someone keeps listening all the time
Waiting ready to dis- you
Waiting eagerly to silence
And it's a language of its own
Yes it is
You just think about the things you feel
Deep down inside
To criticize oppression
And even just a question
Who's on your side
And even just a question
Who's on your side
To question oppression
Why why why
Smiling faces hide their tears inside
So much to say but that's locked up inside
But the younger generation they're in need
Of - and freedom from this poisonous regime
So why are you so scared to let your people speak
Why why why
Why are you so scared to let your people think
Why why why
Why are you so scared to let your people speak
Why why why
Why are you so scared to let your people think
Why why why
Even just a question
Who's on your side
To question oppression
Why why why
To question oppression
To question oppression
To question oppression
To question oppression
Even just a question, oppression
Even just a question, oppression
Why why why
Question, oppression
Who's on your side
Question, oppression
Why why why
Question, oppression
To question oppression
Question oppression
Why why why
