Know Your Rights lyrics

This is a public service announcement

With guitar

Know your rights

All three of them

Number one

You have the right not to be killed

Murder is a crime

Unless it was done

By a policeman

Or an aristocrat

Oh, know your rights

And number two

You have the right to food money

Providing of course

You don't mind a little

Investigation, humiliation

And if you cross your fingers

Rehabilitation

Know your rights

These are your rights

Hey, say, Wang

Oh, 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

Oh, know your rights

These are your rights

All three of 'em

Ha!

It has been suggested in some quarters

That this is not enough

Well

Get off the streets

Run

Get off the streets
