Speak Your Mind

from Little Ditties Too by Dave McKinley

/

lyrics

The lunatics that are taking over the asylum
Are reminded that they have a duty of care
To the people that put them there
The oppressive regimes and all the kings and all the queens
And all of their machines that build the kingdoms and castles
And all those people all those shackles

It’s alright to speak your mind when you find it
It’s alright to speak your mind
It’s alright to speak your mind I speak mine when I find it
It’s alright to speak your mind

The patron saints of latter day make miracles on Saturdays
And statues of them I purvey on my TV
Streamed into my home from satellites that are unknown
I put an app upon my phone should I download should I update?

It’s alright to speak your mind when you find it
It’s alright to speak your mind
It’s alright to speak your mind I speak mine when I find it
It’s alright to speak your mind

Silhouetted on the wall of plaster board there was a small
But perfect little copy of butterfly that had flown in
The March hare jumped over the dawn it was unseasonably warm
The summer of discontent was formed they didn’t heed but they were warned

It’s alright to speak your mind when you find it
It’s alright to speak your mind
It’s alright to speak your mind I speak mine when I find it
It’s alright to speak your mind

It’s alright to speak your mind when you find it
It’s alright to speak your mind
It’s alright to speak your mind I speak mine when I find it
It’s alright to speak your mind
