Free Speech

Free Speech - Citizen Fish

In a culture where the natural is 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

It's 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 it seems to me that most of this dependency

On progress god and how it's been

Just causes stress and misery

Let's have some mental liberation

Until we do then no one's really free

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 f**kers this is wrong

The nanny state does not forgive your sins

And they know where you live

Let's have some mental liberation

Until we do then no one's really

Free speech illusion

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 media attack

The pictures in your heart and pictures in your 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

And you were there and so were we

So who has the authority

To shape perception to the point of calling it reality

Let's have some mental liberation

Until we do then no one's really free

Let's have some mental liberation

Until we do then no one's really free
