WE'RE NOT GOING BACK

Contributed by steeleyes on Sunday, 27th June 2004 @ 10:57:56 AM in AEST
Topic: political



We're not returning to all that
Wire tap
Mind your back

Not any
Fade to black
Or any pseudo-christian
Crap

Not that
Twitching curtain slime
Or tutting old maids
All the time

Not the straight-laced
Or closed minds rack
I tell you now
We're not going back

Save your wishes
For some sanity clause
Or for some Jesus
On a flashing cross

Save your censor
And your bible black
I tell you
We're not going back

Pack your censorship
In your bag
And all your lives
Such a drag

All the minds
That close snap shut
Your 9 to 5
And blinkered rut

Hell no!
We're not going back to that
To twisted sex
Republican rat

All the joy you feared so much
And all the dollars
That you clutch

The prim limits
And cloying scents
The sleazy products
And advertisements

To a way of life
Devoid of joy
And all the courage
You destroy

Take it all
And shove it dear
We don't want
Your world of fear

I tell you true
We won't have it back
All the life
That you lack

Those wiretaps
And mind your back
Macarthy perversion
And lying 'fact'

And the Bush perversion
Of what's true
Well we'll leave that also
Up to you

I tell you now
And believe it please
You won't get us
On our knees

Take your limits
And slope out of here
With all your lies
And your ugly sneer

All of you
On that track
I tell you now
We're not going back

I enjoy anti-establishment writing. Well done!

lol. Anti-establishmentarianism? I'm not sure that's a word, but who knows? Perhaps you could rhyme it inside another rap.

This is a rap, right? It certainly reads like one, what with all the hard consonants etc.

Very cool.
