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 cruel

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
