Lyrics

I was taken downtown for my part in the demonstration I was used and abused with the light in my eye at the station I said No no you got the wrong man No no don't pick on me again No no I'm going home to my family and friends I'm too busy making a living to make any money And the living ain't easy and the money disappears in a hurry, now I said No no I should've stayed at school No no they're treating me so cruel No no I'm breaking all the rules Breaking all the rules No no I was talking to the man he said were gonna make a deal I was fooled into thinking the paper in my pocket was real I said No no you've been taken again No no you're losing all your friends No no it's just a matter of sense It's just a matter of sense
