The Voice of Authority

Commands here
Commands there
I hear commands everywhere.

This and that
makes me sad
Now I think
I'll become bad.

Don't wear this
Don't wear that
Don't wear your jeans
or your hat.

Make me coffee
Make me tea
Make me sandwiches
made of cheese.

Do your homework
Do your work
or we'll make you
do the bed

The voice of authority
makes me sad
Now I think
I'll become bad.
