All Good Naysayers, Speak Up! Or Forever Hold Your Peace! Lyrics
All good thoughts in spite of righteousness
Is not the kind of thoughts in spite of greatness
Often not the State is advocation
If we form a power of recognition
Forget loss and perfect advocation
If it drops or stays in convocation
All we praise is all we want in commerce
All we praise is parties, foreign commerce
Entertain ideas of great communion
Shelter not materials in union
(All we praise is not the kind of commerce
That's the right solution!)
All good thoughts is not the act of doing
What we want but what we should. Improving
Properties, ideas, a woman's pleasure
Is empowered by love, a perfect measure!
(All we praise is not the kind of commerce
That's the right solution!)
