"You May Offend" lyrics

"You May Offend"

As you breathe, as you grow
As you ascend
You'll lose count of the fools
You may offend
Just by giving out the thoughts in your head
You may reach a point where some will wish you dead

Speech is free, so are we
I am assured
But too much rational thought
Needs to be cured
So suppress the facts that prey upon your mind
For the greater good of always being kind

That old street called tolerance
Runs both ways or makes no sense

As you breathe, as you grow
As you ascend
You'll lose count of the fools
You may offend
Just by giving out the thoughts in your head
You may reach a point where some will wish you dead
