Be careful of what you say....or you may give yourself away
Nothing is secret anymore...you're standing on a stage
Free speech...twisted words...foul tongues...intentional slurs
This trash you speak of doesn't get any worse
It's not funny
You're crossing the borderline....when opposing views become a crime
Hearing such overload can shape an unsuspecting mind
Hot topics...and sound bytes...there's no truth from the left or the right
Rumors spread and accusations fly
It's not funny
Myth clouds...fading away...the truth can kill so you dare not say
then you keep on lying for another day
It's not funny
When I try to think of some way to respond to you in kind
Suddenly I realize....your not the only one
There's trouble in paradise...when your not allowed to speak your mind
What are the rules and who decides what is wrong or right
Free speech...twisted words...foul tongues...intentional slurs
What we hear can be awful and it sometimes hurts
It's not funny
Hot topics...and sound bytes...there's no truth from the left or the right
But we can't stop talking or we lose the fight
It's not funny
