Do Not Obey
Defying Restraint: Embracing Freedom's Call
Lyrics
Never one to be held back or held down
Expressing a refusal to be constrained or restricted.
I'd write my name so the king could see
Symbolic act of asserting oneself, making a bold statement for recognition.
I will follow the true declaration
Commitment to follow a genuine declaration or principle.
And find some hope in what mankind could be
Seeking inspiration and optimism in the potential goodness of humanity.
I've worked so hard
Emphasizing hard work as a testament to character and commitment.
Let my deeds be my witness
Advocating for actions to speak louder than words.
And let my words flow through everyone
Desire for impactful words to resonate with and influence others.
When free men stand
Highlighting the strength when free individuals unite against oppression.
Against what would bind them
Opposition to forces that seek to restrict freedom.
No hope for tyrants
Expressing a lack of optimism for oppressive leaders.
We will over come
Confidence in overcoming challenges and oppression.
Do not obey
Encouraging resistance and defiance against authority.
No masters now
Rejecting the idea of having masters or rulers.
Do not obey
Emphasizing the call to resist and not be subjugated.
Not subjects
Rejecting the role of being subjects or followers.
We have held on for so long
Acknowledging the endurance of their resistance.
Do not obey
Reiterating the call to defy authority.
Talking heads tell the masses the story
Critiquing influential figures who control information.
They shape the lie in the schools and the TV
Highlighting the manipulation of information in education and media.
Our fathers work and intent is unwritten
Stressing the unspoken legacy and intentions of forefathers.
By the lazy who don't know they're free
Criticizing those who are unaware of their freedom and take it for granted.
I hear the story and it makes me determined
Feeling determined after hearing a motivating narrative.
To spread the word that we can't just lay down
Advocating for the active spreading of truths and not passively accepting falsehoods.
What we read and we see drawn before us
Challenging misleading representations and urging to stand firm.
Is a lie and we must hold our ground
Asserting that the presented narrative is false, requiring resistance.
It's found in you
Asserting the presence of a rebellious spirit within individuals.
It's found in me
Affirming the universality of resistance and defiance.
From birth to stone
From birth to death, emphasizing the enduring nature of freedom.
We remain free as always
Reaffirming the constant existence of freedom in individuals.
