Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This is a public service announcement with guitar
Know your rights
All three of them
[Verse 2]
Number one
You have the right not to be killed
Murder is a crime
Unless it was done
By a policeman
Or an aristocrat
Oh, know your rights
[Verse 3]
And number two
You have the right to food money
Providing of course, you don't mind a little
Investigation, humiliation
And if you cross your fingers
Rehabilitation
[Verse 4]
Know your rights
These are your rights
Hey say Wayne
[Verse 5]
Oh, know these rights
[Verse 6]
Number three
You have the right to free speech
As long as you're not dumb enough to actually try it
[Verse 7]
Know your rights
These are your rights
Oh, know your rights
These are your rights
[Verse 8]
All three of 'em
[Verse 9]
And it has been suggested in some quarters
That this is not enough
Well
[Verse 10]
Get off the streets
Get off the streets
Run
