Lyrics
I live my own life
Do what I want, say what I mean
And you've got your own hope
Strange ambition, different dreams
So who are you to say I'm wrong?
And who am I to say I'm right?
Though we live in separate times
Why do we argue, always fight?
A man who disagreed with a regime
Was termed a rat
One night, some men came round
"We've read your books, we'd like a chat"
And then they kicked him 'round the cell
With cigarettes they burnt his face
Said, "Remember, we're the law
Do you love your family, your dwelling place?"
And it seems that fools control this world
The nuclear buttons, the poison pen
Most of us are in the dark
But then we're only little men
But little men have mouths to feed
And little men don't want to kill
So little men are never told
Unless, of course, the Earth stands still
We have got a song
Ain't got a chorus
Ain't got a name
It helps us through the night
Although we don't share the blame
It's just another protest song
With words to try and make you think
And come the dawn
Resume your search
For your ultimate power
Your missing link
