No Right To Obey

You can scream. You can pray.
But you have no right to obey.

You can tell me to go away;
But I won’t acknowledge a right to obey.

No-one has the right to say,
“I was only doing it my superiors’ way;
If I’d rebelled, I couldn’t stay,
There’s no blame;
I had to obey.”

Sometimes, obedience is a reasonable price
Shoot me or take my wallet? Living is nice.

But obey or be fired? Obey or they kill
Obey or they’ll find someone else who will?

Believe what you want. Believe what they say.
You never have a right to obey.
