I was taken downtown for my part in the demonstration I was used and abused With the light in my eyes at the station I said No no! You got the wrong man No no! Don't pick on me again No no! I'm going home to my family and friends I'm too busy making a living to make any money And the living ain't easy And the money disappears in a hurry I said No no! I'm going back to school No no! They're treating me so curel No no! I'm breaking all the rules I was talking to the man He said We're gonna make a deal I was fooled into thinking That the paper in my pocket was real I said No no! You've been taken again No no! You're losing all your friends No no! It's just a matter of sense
