The story of the song:

lyrics

They wrote it then amended it
Distorted and distended it
Still human rights transcended it
While human wrongs attended it
With ethnic mix they blended it
Impurity offended it
The racists apprehended it
The fascists condescended it
The arguments intended it
Restricted and extended it
Nobility pretended it
Till no one comprehended it
Our bloodshed they defended it
The media commended it
At least ‘til they unfriended it
And money then suspended it
No more free speech
Now it’s Fee $peech
Too much freedom on display?
Guess you’ll have to pay to say
The king can call for your head
You cannot call for his
A fine demonstration of how
Real freedom is
His court lies to our faces
And without consequence
Yet if we lie to the court
We suffer violence
The church consumes our body
To kill in name of God
To question, apostasy
Humans kneel before fraud
Media poisons our minds
Turns thinking on its head
We defend our enemies
And kill our friends instead
No more free speech
Now it’s Fee $peech
How much does such freedom cost?
You already may have lost
Caught up in the interweb
Pretending our voices are free
Allowed to relay what they want us to say
We watch what they want us to see
20-page service agreements
Are written to never be read
Designed to bind the blind running blind
Where freedom is all in our head
Replacing free speech with Fee $peech
The man with the bucks calls the tune
We are free to sing along for a fee
Though we might as well howl at the moon
Our anti-social media
Keeps us all locked up tight in our cells
Masturbation as socialization
With garbage in, garbage expels
Know more free speech
Know less Fee $peech
Know more free speech
Know less Fee $peech
When they take our words away
We have nothing left to say
