I'm not sure where this sits musically. The lyrics just spilled out.
Your damned if you do
Your damned if you do
And damned if you don’t
Your damned if you will
And damned if you won’t
Nothing you do or say
Will please anyone
So I’ll be damned
If I give a rip.
Right is wrong
And wrong is right
Anything you say
Can and will be
used against you.
An opinion isn’t just yours these days
It’s what makes or breaks you
Speaking your mind can cost you
The very thing that you hold dear.
Your damned if you do
And damned if you don’t
Your damned if you will
And damned if you won’t
Nothing you do or say
Will please anyone
So I’ll be damned
If I give a rip.
So sit down and shut up
Don’t let your voice be heard
If you have a odd opinion
You rights don’t kick in.
And keeping it to yourself
Makes you a selfish SOB
So speak up and speak out
To save humanity
Your damned if you do
And damned if you don’t
Your damned if you will
And damned if you won’t
Nothing you do or say
Will please anyone
So I’ll be damned
If I give a rip.

@vivalarayna haha... that's funny because if you knew me, well, punk..isn't me at al, but I do agree it needs something more than a folksy, happy vibe. thanks for the feedback and kind words.

Punk? I feel like this might serve you well with a punk treatment. It has the "you damn kids get off my lawn" feel that punk needs. I like how you've stayed consistent with the theme where speaking up and staying silent with both draw ire.
