unclear on the concept

you give it up as your claim is but slight
still only you could know just how to speak
it does not matter if you're in the right

pressure befalls from those who have the might
silence the place of those who know they're meek
you give it up as your claim is but slight

no one reports on what's a common plight
since all can see the situation's bleak
it does not matter if you're in the right

each waits for what will come at dead of night
and not a one would dare outside to peek
you give it up as your claim it but slight

the villain has forgotten how to write
and to the hero all has turned to greek
it does not matter if you're in the right

not one thing's left that's either black or white
each weapon falls from the hands of the weak
you give it up as your claim is but slight
it does not matter if you're in the right
