PCH Songtext

PCH Songtext
No one can ever tell you what to do
Beware their words
So many quick to point the finger
Without pointing their own first
There′s so much we take for granted
Take control and speak your voice
Don't let ′em 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
Whenever
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 own first
There's so much we take for granted
Take control and speak your voice
Don′t let ′em get the upper hand
Before you have no choice
The 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 one's privacy against illegal intrusion
Is one of the most important basic rights in our Constitution
Experience has shown that such intrusions occasionally occur
At the hands of overzealous police officers
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 own first
There′s so much we take for granted
Take control and speak your voice
Don't let ′em get the upper hand
Before we've got no choice
Freedom of speech and freedom of the 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 speechmakers
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
Not enforced silence
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 own first
Beware their words
So many quick to point the finger
Without pointing their own first
There′s so much we take for granted
Take control and speak your voice
Don't let ′em 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
