Wake up, tie the tie, don’t ask why

Clock in, nod your head, let truth slide

At home, at work, in the land of the free

We’re trained to bow, not to see

They say “Speak when spoken to”

We say “Yes Sir, we’ll follow through”

But deep down, something’s burning

A voice inside, slowly turning

Yes Sir — to the boss, to the flag, to the fear

Yes Sir — to the rules that keep us here

But I’m done with the silence, done with the blur

It’s time to rise and say — No Sir

Dinner table politics, hush your tone

Don’t rock the boat, don’t stand alone

They feed us lines, we call it peace

But truth don’t live in forced release

I’m not your puppet, not your pawn

I’ve got a mind, I’ve got a dawn

No more nodding just to survive

I want to live, not just comply

Yes Sir — was the anthem of our sleep

Yes Sir — kept our questions buried deep

But now the echo’s breaking, hearts concur

We’re standing tall and saying — No Sir
