You Can (Mass Trespass, 1932)

Lyrics

For all those feet in ancient times
 For stepping out of line
 Dragging time and tide
 ♪
 Against the keepers of the past
 The flags of class and caste
 Limp upon the mast
 ♪
 All your week you were someone's slave
 Today you're a free man
 If they tell you you can't
 Then you can
 You can, you can, you can
 You can, you can
 
 Walking high upon the hills
 Rough-shod against well-heeled
 A butterfly breaks upon the wheel
 ♪
 A compass and a cap
 A sing-song and a scrap
 A dotted line across the map
 All your week you were someone's slave
 Today you're a free man
 If they tell you you can't
 Then you can
 You can, you can, you can
 You can, you can
 Every five-barred gate my home
 ♪
 A place to call my own
 Stone to boundary stone
 For every footprint on the land
 The banners and the banned
 Who swayed the best-laid plans
 
 All your week you were someone's slave
 Today you're a free man
 If they tell you you can't
 Then you can
 You can, you can, you can
