Freedom Of Speech?
I try to keep my eyes covered
I try to keep my ears blocked
I try to keep my mouth shut
Do not let your opinion be known
Keep everything to yourselves
They make laws about what we know
Jail sentences for what we say
And cancellations if we are right
So, just ignore what you have learned
Freedom of speech is well in the past
Just something you hear about
Something you will never experience
Something you may regret knowing about
Because soon, even knowing about it will be illegal
