I've got a gun but I won't use it if you beg me not to
I've got the strength but won't abuse it if you give me power
I'm gonna be your leader, I will be your one decider
I'm gonna make you think you're free then turn you all into my slaves
I'll give you restitution and take something more important
I'll deport all the immigrants and tax all that's supported
I'm gonna lie and cheat and steal and prosecute you for the same
I'm gonna be an absolutist, and you'll shudder at my name
Fear for your own rights, that's how you lose them
For when they strip you, you won't get to pick and choose them
You want a change, hope you enjoy it
I wanted freedom, not someone who would destroy it
He's not a racist, he's just older, he's just from a different time
He's not a criminal, the jury must have already picked a side
He's not a rapist, he just didn't know that she had drawn the line
He's not a liar, everybody's got something they want to hide
Fear for your own rights, that's how you lose them
For when they strip you, you won't get to pick and choose them
You want a change, hope you enjoy it
I wanted freedom, not someone who would destroy it
They say you're young and stupid, when you're older you may understand
I'll never comprehend the type of man who wants to flatten land
Who wants to take the rights of women, children, people who are trans
Maybe I'm young, maybe you're evil, maybe blood is on your hands
And maybe one day you'll prosper alongside white bigoted men
I hope it happens, I hope you and all of them
Get too old hands, and I hope it eats you slowly
Knowing you brought hate onto the earth
And when you die, you'll go to hell, and that'll be what you deserve
Fear for your own rights, that's how you lose them
For when they strip you, you won't get to pick and choose them
You want a change, hope you enjoy it
I wanted freedom, not someone who would destroy it
