Of course, he barked, self-righteously,
just never toe the line;
we’ll protest all the protest songs
by singing one that’s mine.

I like how the poem rhymes, and is similar to a song in a sense. Like it is, in fact, a protest song. I also like how the person is never identified. The phrase "just never toe the line" particularly pleases me.
I almost feel as if this poem should be sung instead of stated. It's difficult to understand the meaning. After some thinking, I have formed a hypothesis. I think it means in order to stop, return with equal valor.
