Lost My Freedoms
[Tune: Clementine]
Lost my freedoms, lost my freedoms,
Lost the whole darn Bill of Rights!
Gonzales thought t’was patriotic
To lock us up all good and tight!
If you’re not with ‘em, you’re against ‘em,
Better not protest or think!
If you don’t spy on your neighbor,
They will throw you in the clink.
If you’re an immigrant or dissenter,
Better watch out what you say!
They will call you “un-American” and
Lock you up in Guantanimo Bay.
No attorney, no good reason,
They’ll just hold you in the jail.
Not a letter, not a phone call,
No one there to post your bail.
If you think as we all once did
Tha-at this can’t happen here,
Stick your head into the sand, and
Say goodbye to your derriere.
It’s time to speak out, time to sing out!
Time to shout out loud and clear:
Our civil liberties must be protected
Or they just might disappear.
Here in Florida, s’well as elsewhere,
Here’s the message that we bring:
The Patriot Act is un-American —
Let freedom ring, let freedom ring!
