Pearl Jam – Know Your Rights lyrics
This is a public service announcement
With guitar
Know your rights

You got a right not to kill
Murder is a crime unless it is done
Unless it is done by a policeman or an aristocrat
Oh, know your rights

You have the right to food, money provided at cost
You don't mind a little investigation, humiliation
And if you cross your fingers, perhaps retaliation
Know you rights, these are your rights
Know your, know these rights

You have the right to free speech
As long as you're not dumb enough to actually try it
Know your rights, these are your rights
Know your rights, these are your rights for freedom

Maybe it's been suggested in some quarters
That this is not enough
So get up, get up and scream, oh
Get up and scream, ah oh
