And clean the shit off Your glasses
Freedom of speech, a government lie
To calm and quiet the masses
Freedom of speech exists
If what You say is accepted by the majority
One will quickly lose
That right when they are part of the minority
All popular artists are the same
This is no coincidence
Maybe the public would not respond to
Deviants
That is an incorrect inference
People with money and power are blessed
But they can fund and promote
Subversive ideas they have intentionally
Suppressed
To insure the safety of status quo
If one's ideas pose no threat
They are the ones to succeed
Monetary backing they will get
By the claws of corporate greed
True freedom of speech
Occurs when all ideas
Are given equal viewing
To the general public
Censor art
Suppress reflection of society
Censor thought
Fools! Stop waving Your flag And clean the shit off Your glasses Freedom of speech, a government lie To calm and quiet the masses Freedom of speech exists If what You say is accepted by the majority One will quickly lose That right when they are part of the minority All popular artists are the same This is no coincidence Maybe the public would not respond to Deviants That is an incorrect inference People with money and power are blessed But they can fund and promote Subversive ideas they have intentionally Suppressed To insure the safety of status quo If one's ideas pose no threat They are the ones to succeed Monetary backing they will get By the claws of corporate greed True freedom of speech Occurs when all ideas Are given equal viewing To the general public Censor art Suppress reflection of society Censor thought Explain Request ×
