Disagreeing Isn't a Crime Lyrics

When we put a noose on free expression

And call it a necessity

When we dictate what can be questioned

Tell everyone they have to agree

When we've forgotten how to listen

And never ask why

When we ignore the context

The meaning dies

You're not protecting freedom

When you're sure you know what's right or wrong

Understand the other side

And maybe we'll all get along

When we've decided we know all the answers

We get it wrong every time

Somehow we've forgotten

Disagreeing isn't a crime

When the press tells us what to be thinking

Pretending they're not choosing sides

When people argue the same old things

And never look for compromise

Blind to reason burning bridges changing history

Thinking we know all the answers

Screaming how it should be

You're not protecting freedom

When you're sure you know what's right or wrong

Understand the other side

And maybe we'll all get along

When we've decided we know all the answers

We get it wrong every time

Somehow we've forgotten

Disagreeing isn't a crime
