I spoke out to be heard, they shut me down quick.
They denied my free speech, a democrat trick.
They were grooming my kids, it didn't sit with me well.
 I could now see, this was the school board from Hell
I demanded my rights, they laughed in my face.
The pompous a-hole in charge said it wasn't my place.
Not my place to complain, or doubt what he said.
He said "shut up, keep a civil tongue in your head.
Your kids are our kids the curriculum's ours.
 We groom these little monsters, thank your lucky stars.
We teach them real values like gender identity.
The matter is closed, we've usurped your sovereignity.
He continued to speak, went on spreading lies.
I spoke out again and it was no big surprise.
 I was grabbed from behind and drug out the door.
Being admonished that I had no rights anymore.
Angry as hell I tried to kick the door down.
Then I heard sirens, coming from all over town.
They got there so fast, like they were already called.
At the way I was treated, I was more than appalled.
The cops poured out of their cars, guns pointed at me.
My God, I thought, isn't this the land of the free.
I was gaffled and shackled and transported to jail.
I was a political prisoner and was denied any bail.
Thay charged me with terrorism, destruction of property.
They denied me a lawyer, I was not treated properly.
My kids were picked up, made wards of the state.
I was convicted, I was served up the same plate.
I pray for the midnight special to shine her light on me.
I've been put in my place, I've no right to be free.
