Jack Stafford - Wake up to Social Justice Lyrics

"The Master's house can't be dismantled
By using the Master's tools"

That's an anarchic fallacy
And will never set us free

If I get to say what you can say, democracy will end that way
Think reason and rationality

Instead of violent condemnation
Engage... in conversation

We must not co-operate with tyranny
By claiming mass conspiracy

Speaking truth in the face of danger
Parrhesia will keep us free

Your way, uses the words I say, to take away my liberty
Freedom is a hard-won thing

Instead of aggressive condemnation
Engage... in conversation

Only the Master's tools can dismantle
Forever the Master's house

Freedom of speech must be defended
Even if we don't like what we hear

If I get to say what you can say, democracy will end that way
Think reason and rationality

Instead of outward condemnation
Engage... in conversation
