Before you tell me how loud I can play my music Before you tell me the way I should raise my kids Before you try to tell me what to say You might wanna think about it yeah Before you turn my family farm into a strip-mall Before you move another factory overseas Before you go giving my job away You might wanna think about it yeah Think about this land that we live in All the rights we've been given And the people who died to make us free Maybe you should start thinking About the fights you'll be picking And the butt-kicking you'll get from me You might wanna think about it yeah Before you try to take away my ten commandments Before you try to tell me when and where to pray Before you go messing with my faith You might wanna think about it yeah Think about the choice that you're making And the stance that you're taking Before you come rolling down my street Maybe you should start thinking About the fight you'll be picking And the butt-kicking you'll get from me The ass-whipping you'll get from me Before you go and try to take away my freedom Before you go and try to take my voice away Before you go make a big mistake You might wanna think about it You might wanna think about it You might want to You might want to You might want to think about it You might want to Brother you need to You might wanna thinking about it hey oh You might want to think about it
