Free Speech

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 fuckers 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
