Story behind the song
Freedom of speech is important to us all. It is under fire these days by some folks.
Lyrics
Use It Or Lose It By Ted Blackwell Chorus Use It Or Lose It Your Freedom of Speech Use It Or Lose It While it’s still within reach Stand up. Speak out. What’s bottled up, get it out. Use It Or Lose It Your Freedom of Speech What’s made America the land of the free? The right to speak freely when you disagree! Opinions unspoken always fall on deaf ears. I’m speaking from experience of over 200 years! Chorus Unchallenged leaders give you not a thought. Their actions and motives have already been bought! You stew in frustration when you keep it inside. Your opinions are worthless when you let them hide! Chorus What could go wrong if you don’t say a word? Laws could be passed so that you can’t be heard. I stand corrected. That’s already been done. And the powerful gloat thinking they’ve already won. Chorus Patriots don’t stand by watching the shame Brought on by leaders who are quick to blame Dissenters, protesters, and those who might think That our nation is failing and our policies stink Chorus Bridge Silence is consent, Whether or not that’s your intent. Chorus
