I once raised a question about what someone said

He misquoted a line from a book I'd read

I should've kept quiet but I rose up instead

You Can't Say Anything To Anyone

You can't say anything to anyone

Even if it's your opinion, son

You can't write anything, anywhere

That just offended somebody, I swear

You Can't Say Anything To Anyone

I attend online meetings - everyday, it seems

Skipe was offensive so now we use Teams

Teams is pretty cool, that's what I've found

Except for that time I raised the wrong background

You Can't Say Anything To Anyone

Nearing the end of a most interesting meeting, I felt like I'd suffered a severe mental beating

Finding myself many times rejected, I discovered a way to be heard and respected

With a deep breath of courage, I felt my stomach sink as I clicked what I thought was the 'High Five' link

Instead, what happened is it raised up my hand. That got me muted, scolded and banned

You Can't Say Anything To Anyone

I tried to raise a concern but it wasn't my turn

I tried to raise my voice but I didn't get that choice

I tried to raise my brow but she had a major cow

You Can't Say Anything To Anyone

I tried to raise my kids and their mother disliked everything I did

So I tried to raise awareness and that was met with much unfairness

I simply tried to get a raise. Apparently, I'm lacking praise

You Can't Say Anything To Anyone

These days, I don't raise too much

I just grow more cynical and out of touch

But I will raise my glass and have a drink

While I am still free to think

You Can't Say Anything To Anyone.
