Campus Jailhouse Rock

Stepped onto the campus today,

And what I saw there has me shook!

They’ve taken our freedom, those thugs!

Our right to an opinion, they took!

What’s happening around me?

What’s happening to this country?

I’m still reeling from the shock!

They’re putting our heads on a butcher’s block

And the police? They just sit and gawk!

Young students are we,

Fighting for our own rights and those of so many,

But instead of getting justice the way we expected to…

We’re staring down the fucken barrel of a gun and doing the campus edition of jailhouse rock!

They sit on their thrones and in their mansions

And from there, the Constitution and basic human rights, they’ll mock!

Hush! Don’t say a word… No protests…

Or they’ll make you do the jailhouse rock!

Off the backs of the innocents, watch em steal a quick buck,

Students, journalists, man, woman, and child being beaten up here… Like what the actual fuck?!

Some old man running the government, he blames the youth for ‘being too woke’

Says we’re just kids with no homework probably hopped up on coke

Well, at least, we, ‘sir’, know the difference between a promise to better the nation…

And a nation that’s become a joke!
