Lyrics
how we can pretend
that we can say what we want but we can’t
it’s so precious how we can pretend
that we can say what we want but we can’t
i have the freedom to open my mouth
they have the freedom to filter everything that comes out
decidin what’s okay for us plebs to hear and see
that’s a big fuckin responsibility
how fast does yer mess get cleaned
yo we dig ya cuz yer different, could ya be a little more mainstream
place all importance on wealth
count your money and have fun being someone else
the one solution that i can see
you gotta question and fuck with authority
guard yer grill and get ready for raised fists
cuz the truth is unpopular
the truth is a bad risk
it’s a well-maintained zoo
ya don’t have any influence over what happens to you
so they erase what’s written
if ya tell us we can speak then ya better fuckin listen
old opinions become the law
that doesn’t mean i’m gonna necessarily live by it grandpa
when does this amount of control reach me
i hate 7th heaven but it’s still on tv
i have the freedom to open my mouth
as long as everybody likes everything that’s comin out
so let’s pretend we can say
anything we want to, they’ll edit it anyway
it’s so precious how we can pretend
