about

The story of “Right to Rule”:

Consider all the ways in which authority is asserted over you, and by whom. There are times you accept it, and there are times you reject it. For you personally, what’s the deciding factor? For me, it’s consent. If consent is not given, authority is not legitimate. The violation of consent, by any group or person, is wrong. I will not be forced to live by the values of others, and I will not force others to live by mine.

lyrics

What might could conjure a right
For someone to take from me
My home I built from these stones
That stands here above the sea

Was I one who paid for their guns
The willing majority
Now I see what I’ve done is let them become
The ruling authority
There’s no in between

If all will believe it
is it true?
Is it true?
If all will agree
could they be played for fools?
Who are the white knights
the masses approve?
Does that give ‘em the right to rule?

The sins of the fathers have wrought
an army of martinets
This hierarchy we’re taught
Obey never question it

Our sons and daughters grow strong
but what are they headin’ for,
when the wrongs that we’ve held so tight for so long
come bangin’ upon their door?
Bang on their door

If all will believe it
is it true?
Is it true?
If all will agree
could they be played for fools?
Who are the white knights
the masses approve?
Does that give ‘em the right to rule?

If all will believe it
does that give ‘em the right?
It’s not right

If all will believe it
is it true?
Is it true?
If all will agree
could they be played for fools?
Who are the white knights
the masses approve?
Does that give ‘em the right
the right to rule?

What might could conjure a right
for someone to take from me?
Will I rise and decry or step back in line
and grant the authority...
the right to rule
