Don't speak your mind
But pick your words with caution
Chain up your tongue
Don't ever speak from your heart
Who could be hurt?
Who could be judging what you say?
Where can it lead?
Think twice before you proceed

Supervised
Analyzed
Hide from the eyes

To the ones above
And to the ones below
To the gathered crowds
I must justify
Justify my dos
And justify my don'ts
To my name and honor
I must testify

Don't lose your hold
On your true emotions
You bite your tongue
And think of what you stand for
Behind your back
Potential judges and usurpers
Inside your mind
The aggravation grinds

Supervised
Analyzed
Hide from the eyes

To the ones above
And to the ones below
To the gathered crowds
I must justify
Justify my dos
And justify my don'ts
To my name and honor
I must testify

Do you know what you say?
Do you know what they hear?
Read your opponents
And mold yourself into a valueless man
Serve all your statements
Upon an impartial tray of ice
Then you close the door and you scream

To the ones above
And to the ones below
To the gathered crowds
I must justify
Justify my dos
And justify my don'ts
To my name and honor
I must testify
I must testify
I must testify
