lyrics

FREE SPEECH

in a culture where the natural was dressed to fit the part
we've powdered milk and cartoon cows
sky is on the box the parks are where we fit the cars
and obesity is sold by clowns
when every time religion comes we grab the shopping cart
and curse the price of charity
the only time we pray for help its for a credit card
that stretches to eternity

its what we think we ought to do it's not exactly ours to choose
cos people do the things they do it's how it goes and who are you
to moan i said i seems to me that most of this dependency
on progress god and how it's been just causes stress and misery

CH- let's have some mental liberation
until we do then no-one's really free

cos as the world goes up itself about celebrity and wealth
there's war and raw hypocrisy and still no freedom for the free
to get together all day long and tell the fuckers This Is Wrong!
the nanny state does not forgive your sins- and they know where you live

CH-
-free speech is an illusion
once you reach the conclusion
those who set the limits on freedom
won't let you say we don't need them

for fear of losing freedom do we keep it all inside
being quiet in the name of peace
the courts are full of people with opinions to defend
but it doesn't get the press release
if every step is marching to the bus to take us back
to hear that nothing changed again
remember all the facts before the images attack
the pictures in the heart and brain

cos i was there and so were you and several thousand others too
while opinions of millions were shaped by papers and the news
but you were there and so were we - who has the authority
to shape perception to the point of calling it reality?
