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
I said no, no!
I should have stayed in school
No, no!
They're treating me so uncool
No, no!
I've been breaking all the rules
I'm breaking all the rules now
I was taking to the man
He said we're gonna make a deal
I was fooled into thinking
That 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 now
