I knew to keep quiet was the crime of the time.

And if I did try it - It would be the death of my mind.

They said to be loved you must tow the party line.

But I can't pretend so I left it behind.



So we spoke our mind.

And I'll never find that I'm a lesser man for speaking my mind.



Popularity traded but at least I would speak

and my critics still wait for me to trip on the street.

When this world rains disaster why take a back seat.

We must move forward, let the meek remain weak.



So we spoke our mind.

And I'll never find that I'm a lesser man for speaking my mind.
