You took away my voice
my pride
and my freedom
so alone I sit in this jail cell
for the crime of voicing my opinion
Authority has proven itself a battle
one which can't be beat
my pride is the only thing you are hurting
my every right has been taken away from me
I feel violated from within these small walls
barcoded and labeled for life
when your spirit is broken
and you feel like your nothing
it isn't much of a life
I wanted to show you one final opinion
that I can voice without uttering a word
as I take out my scissors
and show them to you
I know my battle will soon be won
This teri-clothe straight jack only lables me mad
as society as labeled me so
and these scissors I hold
represent the opionions unvoiced
and the opinions that have once been told
I will show you with ease one final thing
that my opinion can be silent but deadly
I will use a model for representaion
from myself to authority
My tounge is the model
the weapon of mass destruction in this case
as I take out my scissors
and hold them oh so close to my face!
I wave them around and stick out my tounge
I do not utter one sound
the battle had already been won!
I open the scissors
as the hinge lets out a large squeak
I look you in the eye
and show you what you have done to me!
I cut my tounge once
and I cut it again
three times and the blood
trickles down from my chin
you look in horror
as I try to speak
see I told you what being quiet
does to someone like me!
the blood bounces from my chin to the floor
slowly bleeding to death
as I beg it to flow more
my body grows weak
as my knees buckle to the concrete
I grasp the cell bars
and say fuck-you authority!
my final opinion proved to be
silent but oh so deadly
and I wasn't going to give up
till I beat authority
The battle was won
by a simple representation
my tounge was the sacrifice
for voicing my opinion.
