Free speech has been cancelled
Hush, my friends, don't say a word,
freedom of speech has been silenced.
Keep it quiet, and under your hat,
leave your words in the bag and all that.
Be thankful they don't yet read minds,
for your thoughts are still free, as are mine.
Not yet will they get us, not yet, not yet
will they stab at our poor troubled heads.
Right now and right here on the page,
don't get rabid or into a rage,
it will do you no good, you'll be misunderstood
and in seconds you'll end up inside.
