Lyrics
Another revolution to regulate, another Jeremiah to castrate. It won't get in the papers if your pockets are full, because you've go the pull, baby, you've got the pull. Take me off the air if I get too loud, knock me down a peg if you think I'm too proud, bury me in silence if the message is real, don't play fair when it's better to kill the deal. I try to speak my mind, you find my words unkind, rewind, now bind my silence. Hate my words so you take them away, silence me. Once more into the breach, peg me as a threat, then you silence my speech. Now the street prophets are on the run, because you've got the guns, baby, you've got the guns. Rule number one is the law is a lie, if you've got the power then it doesn't apply. Say you respect me, want to protect, but if I don't genuflect you're going to wreck me. You say it's for my good, and you're misunderstood, I say that you're a two bit hood. Hate my words so you take them away, silence me. Wage your war in the court of law, buy the evening news and spin it all. Put the editorial on page one, sign it with a bullet and a smoking gun. Carbon copy soldiers in a corporate suit cover up the truth and alter the absolute, rolling out the lawyers when I raise the black flag, follow up your action with a gag and a body bag. Blue suit, red tie, you talk, we die, no place to hide from your damned lies. Hate my words so you take them away, silence me. When freedom is a threat you take it away.
