What does it mean? What does anything mean?

Sending out signals I see the smoke screens

What is not dirty? What is not clean?

What should we not hear? What shouldn't be seen?

Running off verbals like a runaway truck



Who censors the censor? Can I do that myself?

Make up my own mind like anyone else

Forget me, forget me not, remember me like acid drops



Mind over morals, anything banned

The zealots are marching with Bible in hand

Keyed to the roof one hundred proof

Some of them hairpins, some of them clams

Desperate Susan's, desperate Dans



Who censors the censor? Can I do that myself?

Make up my own mind like anyone else

You read but missed the plot, you only see that what is not



These are clueless, living in fear

Scared of their own sex or anything clear

Still looking down proboscis crown

Vague hope and no charity, welcome to the 21st century



The hush puppy hushes, a dummy dumb struck

What is bad language? What shouldn't be heard?

Or used as a token or used as a word

What is not dirty? What is not clean?

What is not filthy? What is obscene?



Who censors the censor? Can I do that myself?

Make up my own mind like anyone else

Forget me, forget me not, remember me like acid drops



Different colors, different style

Different cultures, these blend in a while

Prejudice prods through a big picket fence

Divided we fall without a defense



The seat of easement, the privy parliament

Petticoat merchants bent on intent

There everywhere, these tricks of the trade

Some in the light, some in the shade
