From the Conscience Archive XII

Faithful Opposition

They march on the streets,
Their chants deafen my small voice,
No! No! No!

I don't want to empty their pews.
I want to stand and worship, as they do,
unharrassed.

Is that too much?

Do what you want,
as long as you don't hurt anyone else.

The Chorus cries again and again,
So watch Madonna neck Brittany,
or just turn the channel.
'Tsup to you,' they say.
They say.

Do what you want,
as long as you don't hurt anyone else.

What does the chorus say
When we cry out, "enough. enough"
We want the Truth to set us free."
"What's Truth? Shut your mouth!" They say
They say.

Do what you want,
as long as you don't hurt anyone else.

Until we join our voices together.
Until we say as one."Enough.
The truth will set us free."
