Lyrics
What does it mean?
What does anything mean?
Sending out signals
I see the smoke screens
What is not dirty?
What is not clean?
What should we not hear?
What shouldn't be seen?
Running on verbals
Like a runaway truck
Who censors the censor?
Can I do that myself?
Make up my own mind
Like anyone else
Forget me, forget me not
Remember me like acid drops
And it's mind over morals
Anything banned
The zealots are marching
With a Bible in hand
And a key to the roof
One hundred proof
Some of them hairpins
Some of them clowns
Desperate Susans
Desperate Teds
Who censors the censor?
Can I do that myself?
Make up my own mind
Like anyone else
You'll read, but miss the plot
You'll only see that what is not
'Cause these are the clueless
They're living in fear
Scared of their own sex
Or anything clear
They're still looking down
Proud as a sparrow
Faith, hope, no charity
Welcome to the 21st century
And the hush puppy hushes
Like a dummy dumbstruck
What is bad language?
What shouldn't be heard?
Or used as a token
Or used as a word
What is not dirty?
What is not clean?
What is the filthy?
And just what is obscene?
Who censors the censor?
Can I do that myself?
Make up my own mind
Like anyone else
Forget me, forget me not
Remember me like acid drops
Different, different colour and different style
Different cultures, these have been here a while
And the prejudice, it prods, we're the big bigot fans
Divided we fall, without a defence
I forgot the line, haha
Everywhere these tricks of the trade
Some in the light, some in the shade
Oh no, if I carry on like that there'll be no future for me
No future for you
Thank you
Alright, and can I dedicate this to a
Poor sick chap in Scotland called Alan?
