Viewing lyrics for How Many Last Straws by Rick Ashby ashadowman Music Mystic Leftover Productions.

People seem to be innocent enough
Let stop and look and see
For what you are being told today
Is not what it seems to be

The media leads you to believe
That what they say, is the truth
An oxymoron for you to ponder
Is Journalistic integrity

A large crowd in 1989,
We all remember Tiananmen square,
Weilin was just 19 years old ,
Who stood his ground in front of the tanks

Chorus
If you are so free then exercise your voice
Being silent tells them a lot
How much can they get away with
How simple minded we’ve become

He displayed courage beautifully
When it was required of him,
More people are needed just like this,
So we can keep the power to the people

Chorus
If you are so free then exercise your voice
Being silent tells them a lot
About how simple minded we’ve become
Will we play dead eventually

So how many last straws will come
Before you are ready to fight
Or will you lay down and take it
Be owned by someone you don’t like

Chorus - Music only

Harmonic ending
