I demonstrated yesterday
Against a man who did not make the grade
And tho the signs were rather crude
I had to paint them all
I hauled them to the mall

An angry mob attacked my car
I wish somehow all their minds I could change
In time the cops dispersed the crowd
They'd seen it all before
Must have been about a thousand people there or maybe more

I was on film that day, oh boy
A news crew asked what my protest was for
I didn't know quite what to say
So I just stood and shook
Feeling like a schnook
I'd love to chaaaaaaaange theeeeeeeeire miiiiiiiinds

Spoke up, said what I said
Felt a rock upside my head
Felt myself go down and hit the ground
And looking up, I noticed there was blood
Found the rock, and threw it back
Cops were there in seconds flat
Then the tear gas flew, was lots of smoke
I started to choke and I couldn't even scream

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudge

I was in court today, oh boy
The judge, he sentenced me to seven years
And tho my cell is rather small
And still they have the gall
To bring someone else in here and now I think I might get mauled
I'd love to chaaaaaaaange hiiiiiiiis miiiiiiiind
