This is a public service announcement
With guitar
Know your rights
Number one
You got a right not to kill
Murder is a crime
Unless it is done
Unless it is done by a policeman
Or an aristocrat
Oh, know your rights
Number two
You have the right to food money
Provided at cost,
You don't mind a little investigation, humiliation
And if you cross your fingers
Perhaps retaliation
Know you rights
These are your rights
Know your
Know these rights
Number three
You have the right to free speech
As long as you're not dumb enough to actually try it
Know your rights
These are your rights
Know your rights
These are your rights
For freedom
Ha!
Maybe it's been suggested in some quarters,
That this is not enough
So get up, get up and scream, oh!
Get up and scream, ah oh!
