I'm privileged to be entitled  
and have no fear of going rogue,  
and though my passions are unbridled,  
they're only so to be in vogue,

I do not fancy being thwarted  
nor do I fancy being gagged,  
and if I have to be escorted  
I would prefer not to be dragged.

A shrink once said I do not treasure  
the crown that's sitting on my head,  
and waste my time pursuing pleasure,  
that I should be a king instead

I should be stronger and not weaker  
I should speak up, I should be loud.  
But I have broken my loudspeaker  
and can't be heard above the crowd.
