Speech Police

The speech police — they criticize what I said
The speech police — they stuck a knee in my head
The speech police — they’re coming to correct me — oh no!
You know that talk is cheap
But in truth there’s a price
And though it’s called free speech
I don’t think they’ll provide — the right the right
'Cause they’re way too PC for losers like me
Every single right they’ll try to re-explain
And then assign my blame
The speech police — they redefine what I meant
(Redefine what I meant)
The speech police — as something mean and violent
(Something mean and violent)
The speech police — they’re coming to correct me — oh no!
Well, I’m scandalized
For my Christian beliefs
And then they call for peace
Blame their violence on me
Yeah, right — denied!
'Cause they hate to believe the Book that I read
Every single line they’ll try to re-explain
And vilify my name
I try to speak, they lie in wait, then moan at me and groan
It doesn’t pay to take the bait and so I just leave 'em alone
In spite of me, they try to find a quote and read it wrong
They curse the truth we share and rush in fury on the Lord
Ha ha ha -- ha ha ha -- ha ha ha
Yes, Isaiah agrees — just look and you’ll see
In Isaiah 5 — verse 5:20 is plain
So let it guide my way
The speech police — they live to silence the rest
(Live to silence the rest)
The speech police — they want the freedom oppressed
(Want the freedom oppressed)
The speech police — they’re coming to correct me
The speech police (police, police)
The speech police (police, police)
The speech police (police, police)
The speech police (police, police)
The speech police (police, police)
The speech police (police, police)
