All Those Opposed

Way back, way back when I was a kid
My mother, my mother, yes, she always said
There are those, there are those who will do you wrong
To make you feel as if you don't belong

Way back, way back when I was a kid
My father, my father, yeah, he always said
Be sure, be sure to speak your mind
Just be prepared to pay

Be prepared, nothing comes without expense
Be prepared, yeah, to face up to the consequence
Not everybody feels the same as you are
There are those who will oppose what you say and what you do

Oh, what you do
Oh, what you do

Now that I'm away and fully grown
Now that I'm out and living on my own
I have discovered that they were right
And I am thankful for their advice

So I just do just what I do
Even at the risk of upsetting you
First I must satisfy myself
Before I can please anybody else

Be prepared, nothing comes without expense
Be prepared, yeah, to face up to the consequence
Not everybody feels the same as you are
There are those who will oppose what you say and what you do

What you do

There are those who will oppose
There are those who will oppose
There are those who will oppose
There are those who will oppose

What you say and what you do
Even at the risk of upsetting you
What you say and what you do
Just do what is best for you
