Reprimand

Speak out and be chastised For disrupting the tribe No one wants to talk about it You're better off to just avoid it Closed doors for those who criticize Your strong and steady voice is amplified By the thinly veiled disdain That you've put up with for so long Nevermind, nevermind Now's not the time Just toe the line I'll scratch your back if you'll scratch mine Persistence here is key The squeaky wheel gets the grease Don't expect improvement Until you get behind the movement I guess that's just the way it goes Fuck those public demonstrations Why are they complaining? I'm just trying to make my way to work Nevermind, nevermind Now's not the time Just toe the line I'll scratch your back if you'll scratch mine Your words have been ignored You've been maligned before But now you get death threats Who do they take you for? You won't be silent anymore
