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, yeahBefore you turn my family farming to a strip mall
Before you move another factory overseas
Before you go giving my job away
You might wanna think about it, yeahThink about this land that we live in
Of the rights we've been given
And people who die to make us freeMaybe you should stop thinking
About the fight you've been picking
And the butt kicking you'll get from me
You might wanna think about it, yeahBefore 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, oh, oh, oh, ohThink about the choice that you're making
And the stance that you're taking
Before you come rolling down my streetMaybe you should stop thinking
About the fight you've been picking
And the butt kicking you'll get from me
The ass whippin' you'll get from meBefore you go and try to take away my freedom
Before you go and try to take my voice away
Before you go and make a big mistakeYou might wanna think about it
You might wanna think about, oohYou might want to, you might want to
You might wanna think about it, now
You might want to, I bet that you need to
You might wanna think about it, hey
You might wanna think about it, yeah
