Upside down and backward Reality has gone astray Can’t be moving forward When laws stand in the way There’s no freedom in restrictions Banning books and teachers’ tools Because someone raised objections To force a change in the rules It only takes one voice To take away another’s choice One complaint to kill Someone’s own free will Upside down and backward Once right is now wrong Lives are being shattered By laws that say they don’t belong Turning back the clock In the name of pious spin Those outside the flock Are labeled evil sin It only takes one voice To take away another’s choice One complaint to kill Someone’s own free will There will come a day I sincerely pray When live and let live Is the universal way
