Intro
A yo ice man. iand'm working on this term paper for college. whatand's the
first amendment?
Verse 1
Freedom of speech thatand's some motherfuckinand' bullshit
you say the wrong thing theyand'll lock your ass up quick
the fcc says andquot;profanity no airplayandquot;?
they can suck my dick while i take a shit all day
think i give a fuck about some silly bitch named gore?
yo pmrc here we go raw
yo tip, whatand's the matter? you ainand't gettinand' no dick?
youand're bitchinand' about rockand'nand'roll, thatand's censorship, dumb bitch
the constitution says we all got a right to speak
say what we want tip, your argument is weak
censor records, tv, school books too
and who decides whatand's right to hear? you?
hey pmrc, you stupid fuckinand' assholes
the sticker on the record is what makes and'em sell gold
canand't you see, you alcoholic idiots
the more you try to suppress us, the larger we get
Verse 2
[you have the right to remain silent]
fuck that right! i want the right to talk
i want the right to speak, i want the right to walk
where i wanna, yell and iand'm gonna
tell and rebel every time iand'm on a
microphone on the stage cold illinand'
the knowledge i drop will be heard by millions
we ainand't the problems, we ainand't the villains
itand's the suckers deprivinand' the truth from our children
you canand't hide the fact, jack
thereand's violence in the streets every day, any fool can recognise that
but you try to lie and lie
and say americaand's some motherfuckinand' apple pie
yo, you gotta be high to believe that
youand're gonna change the world by a sticker on a record sleeve
cos once you take away my right to speak
everybody in the worldand's up shit creek
Verse 3
Let me tell you about down south
where a motherfucker might as well not even have a mouth
columbus, georgia, said theyand'd lock me up
if i got on the stage in my show and said andquot;fuckandquot;
so i thought for a minute and said andquot;no,
i wasnand't even gonna do a damned showandquot;
cos for me to change my words from my rhymes
is never gonna happen cos thereand's no sell outs on mine
but i vowed to get those motherfuckers one day
they even arrested bobby brown and cool j
yo, they got theirand's cominand', cos iand'm mad and iand'm gunninand'
homeboys, and thereand's no runninand'
iand'm gonna tell you how i feel about you
no bull, no lies, no slack, just straight fact
columbus, georgia, you can suck my dick
you ainand't nothinand' but a piece of fuckinand' shit on the damned map
Verse 4
Freedom of speech, let and'em take it from me
next theyand'll take it from you, then what you gonna do?
let and'em censor books, let and'em censor art
pmrc, this is where the witch hunt starts
youand'll censor what we see, we read, we hear, we learn
the books will burn
you better think it out
we should be able to say anything, our lungs were meant to shout
say what we feel, yell out whatand's real
even though it may not bring mass appeal
your opinion is yours, my opinion is mine
if you donand't like what iand'm sayinand'? fine
but donand't close it, always keep an open mind
a man who fails to listen is blind
we only got one right left in the world today
let me have it or throw the constitution away
Outro (jello biafra)
What theyand're trying to do with radio, with this, uh, mccarron-walter
act and a lot of other ways, is start by saying that theyand're
protecting the public from wicked rock bands, or girlie magazines, or
whatever. but, if you follow the chain of dominoes that falls down,
what theyand're really trying to do is shut off our access to information
itself.
If they canand't do it by law they know thereand's other ways to do it.
