Before you tell me how loud I can play my music Before you tell me the way I should raise my keys Before you try to tell me what to say You might wanna think about it, yeah Before you turn my family farming to a strip mow Before you move another factory overseas Before you go giving my job away You might want to think about it, yeah Think about this land that we live in Of the rights we've been given And people who die to make us free Maybe you should stop thinking about the fight you've been picking And the butt-kicking you'll get from me You might want to think about it, yeah Before you try to take away my ten commandments Before you try to tell me when and where to play Before you go messing with my fate You might want to think about it, yeah Think about the choice that you're making And the stance that you're taking Before you come rolling down my street Maybe you should stop thinking about the fight you've been picking And the butt-kicking you'll get from me The eyes whipping you'll get from me Before you go and try to take away my freedom Before you go and try to take my voice away Before you go and make a big mistake You might wanna think about it You might wanna think about You might want to You might want to You might wanna think about it
