Lyrics
You told me not to worry
You advised me not to be concerned
It's all for the greater good
Actions are justified for the greater good
Who made you judge and jury
Questioning the authority and fairness of the person
Who gave you the axe and hood
Asking who granted the power to judge and execute
You wanted it sealed
You desired confidentiality or secrecy
I'll tell the real story
I will reveal the true narrative
I'm no bird that sings
Not a compliant follower, not a mere entertainer
I'm the whistleblower
Identifying oneself as the whistleblower
Wake up and take warning
Warning to wake up and pay attention
Congressmen and kings
Addressing both politicians and rulers
I'm the whistleblower
Reiterating the role as the whistleblower
Waiting in the wings
Anticipating involvement or action in the future
You told me keep it quiet
You instructed me to keep silent
That I'd ruin everything
Claiming potential harm to everything if revealed
But I'd rather start a riot
Preferable to incite a disturbance than assist manipulation
Than help you pull these strings
Refusing to be part of deceptive schemes
You told me to kneel
You wanted me to submit or yield
I'll tell the real story
Commitment to revealing the genuine account
I'm no bird that sings
Not a docile follower or conformist
I'm the whistleblower
Reasserting the identity as the whistleblower
Wake up and take warning
Issuing a wake-up call and advisory
Congressmen and kings
Message directed towards both legislators and monarchs
I'm the whistleblower
Emphasizing the role as the whistleblower
Waiting in the wings
Anticipating a role in future events
Watching, waiting in the wings
Observing and anticipating from a distance
I'll tell the real story
Reaffirmation of sharing the true narrative
I'm no bird that sings
Not a submissive or compliant entity
I'm the whistleblower
Identifying oneself as the whistleblower again
Wake up and take warning
Advisory to wake up and be cautious
Congressmen and kings
Addressing both lawmakers and rulers
I'm the whistleblower
Reiterating the role as the whistleblower
Waiting in the wings
Expecting a role in the future
Watching, waiting in the wings
Observing and anticipating from a distance (repeated)
Watching, waiting in the wings
