by: WeddingThey said that we were worthless,
They said that we were young.
And they said that we should take our place
And learn to bite a tongue.
They said that we were dangerous,
Yeah, they said that we were told
And they said that we would break our necks
If we yell to sing another song.
So come on.
If you’re sick of being told you were wrong,
