New Song: "Takin' Our Words Away" (Patreon)

This is a straight-up protest song, spurred by the Trump Administration's decree that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are not allowed to use certain words in any documents pertaining to the agency's budget (  https://goo.gl/35oBLX  ).

The ones in charge are livin large,You might say they have a dream:They rule the world, but still want all the money,And no tactic’s too extreme.They don’t care for our people or laws,New outrages every day,And just so you know, there’s a brand new low --They’re taking our words away.

They make a big point of sayin’ this is just for Discussion of the budget for the fiscal year.But if they take one word, four words, seven words,What makes you think that they’re gonna stop here?Only allowed and approved information,Even if it happens to be false and wrongYou think that chemistry, physics, biology,You think the whole world is gonna go along?

The science doesn’t care, The universe doesn’t care,The government doesn’t care,Where do we go from there?

Transgender fetus entitlement diversity vulnerable evidence- and science-based.Not letting us discuss reality, keeping us ignorant, in our place.Stay far away from the real agenda, cutting off our noses to spite their face.Transgender fetus entitlement diversity vulnerable evidence- and science-based.

Takin’ our words away,Takin’ our words away,How long till there’s nothing left to say,Takin’ our words away.

Denying science, ignoring evidenceWon’t make an oil pipeline un-spill.Calling a fetus a baby doesn’t give itAny health care when the mom falls ill.Diversity just means people are different,The great American melting pot,Being transgender just means feeling in yourHeart that you’re something they say you’re not.

People moralize,See through fanatic’s eyes,Use God to bolster lies,Why are you so surprised?

(transgender fetus entitlement diversity vulnerable evidence- and science-based)

Takin’ our words away,Takin’ our words away,How long till there’s nothing left to say,Takin’ our words away.

Takin’ our words away,Takin’ our words away,How long till there’s nothing left to say,Takin’ our words away.

All of the masters have brought disaster,Listenin to the ravings of a crazy clown.They’re already rich, so they think they Deserve all the money that’s layin’ around.Entitlement sounds like somethin’ for nothin',But all you’re entitled to is tricklin’ down.They want to take We The People to the bathtubAnd hold us under until we drown.

They tell you what to hate,They tell you who to fear,But I swear it’s not too lateTo sing out loud and clear.

Transgender fetus entitlement diversity vulnerable evidence- and science-based,Not letting us discuss reality, don’t let the opposition make their case.Misogyny, bigotry, money, supremacy, all it’s gonna cost is the human race.Transgender fetus entitlement diversity vulnerable evidence- and science-based.

Takin’ our words away,Takin’ our words away,How long till there’s nothing left to say,Takin’ our words away.

Takin’ our words away,Takin’ our words away,Nothing left to say....
