Lyrics

Censor this song, censor this song
Ah yeah, Censor this song

Whatever happened to the freedom of expression
Well we went and we threw it all away
Giving your rights and freedoms away
Well you'll lose them more and more each day
The more that we cave and the more that we give
The powers for others to control every little thing we think or feel or say or even want to do

Censor this song, censor this song
Ah yeah, Censor this song

Just because you're offended doesn't mean that you're right
But you're always the first to start the fight
Defenders of right and wrong, Crusaders of film and song
Like some hero, like you're going to save the day
To scrutinize and criticize and sanitize and sterilize everything to normalize and even go off jeopardize more than you'll ever realize

Censor this song, censor this song
Ah yeah, Censor this song

Nobody needs protection from media
And nobody needs protection from the past
Nobody needs protection from words that are written
Watch out for what words you say for they may be your very last

Censor this song, censor this song
Ah yeah, Censor this song
