Paragraph Lyric
No one can ever tell you what to do
Beware their words
So many quick to point the finger
Without pointing their way first
There's so much we take for granted
Take control and speak your voice
Don't let them get the upper hand
Before you have no choice


In some countries even today police officers may
search a person's home or office for evidence of wrongdoing
seize his property and arrest him whenever they see fit

In the United States on the other hand the Fourth Amendment
protects the individual and his property
from unreasonable search and seizure
by officers of the law

Double Jeopardy, the Fifth Amendment also guarantees
the individual that he will not be tried before a federal court
more than once for the same crime

No one can ever tell you what to do
Beware their words
So many quick to point the finger
Without pointing their way first
There's so much we take for granted
Take control, and speak your voice
Don't let them get the upper hand
Before you have no choice

A knock at the door whether by day or night
as a prelude to a search without authority of law
but solely on the authority of police
is inconsistent with the conception of human rights
enshrined in the history of basic constitutional documents of English speaking peoples

Although the sanctity of ones privacy against illegal intrusion is one of the
most important basic rights in our Constitution
experiences show that such
intrusions occur at the hands of overzealous police officers

No one can ever tell you what to do
Beware their words
So many quick to point the finger
Without pointing their way first
There's so much we take for granted
Take control, and speak your voice
Don't let them get the upper hand
Before you have no choice

Freedom of speech and freedom of press
the right to speak his mind is close to the heart of every American
the constitution prohibits most forms of censorship over the press and speech makers.
The argument against censorship is clear
no government official should be permitted
to dictate what ideas or beliefs we are entitled to hear or believe
Both good and evil should be averted by more speech and not enforced silence

Similarly while a person is free to make speeches on public streets
he may be prevented from doing so
when he uses a loud or raucous amplifier
which disturbs the public tranquility

No one can ever tell you what to do
Beware their words
So many quick to point the finger
Without pointing their way first
