Acid Drops

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 100 proof

Some of them hairpins, some of them clams

Desperate Susans, desperate Dans

Who censors the censor, can I do that myself

Make up my own mind like anyone else

You read but missed my 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

These different colours, 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
