Does "yes" mean "no" inside your mind?
Does "stop" tell you to "go?"
Does "please don't" mean "carry on?"
Does "good'bye" mean "hello?"

Is red the deepest blue to you?
Does cold mean it is hot?
Does privacy mean you tell it all?
Do you comprehend or not?

What portion of the word called "no"
Don't you understand?
What part of "stop" is deafening?
You've got it all just planned.

When I say "no" and I say "stop"
I mean just what I say.
"No" means I don't want any part
And "stop" means cease your way.

They do not mean that you can do
Just anything you please
Or assume that it means go ahead
Enjoy it with great ease.
