Every time they reach
For the handgun of free speech
Just pay attention to their other hand:
They’re speed dialling the cops
To kick you in the chops,
The cops that rich men have at their command
And every time they preach
On the godhead of free speech
Pay close attention to their iron jaws
They don’t want speech to upend
Their privilege to defend
Their right to call you niggers, queers and whores.
And every time they teach
About the value of free speech
Please watch the lips on either of their faces
For they’ll fight & fight & fight
For their inalienable right
To scream the shit that keeps us in our places.
