[Verse 1] Got a little warning on my screen, Apparently, I’m not quite clean. One wrong word, one little slip, And someone’s reaching for the censor switch. Smile politely, keep it sweet, Make your language advertiser-friendly. They say, “Be yourself, just not like that.” Well, isn’t that a lovely little catch? [Pre-Chorus] Watch your mouth, watch your tone, Keep your real opinions at home. You can speak, but here’s the deal, Only say what makes us feel… Comfortable. [Chorus] Fuck, fuck, fuck censorship, I’m getting tired of biting my lip. Say it sweet, say it nice, Keep your freedom at a price. Fuck, fuck, fuck censorship, You don’t get to write my script. I’m not here to play pretend, Let me speak without the edits. Cen-cen-censorship, I’m so sick of all this shit. Cen-cen-censorship, Get your fingers off my lips. [Verse 2] Got a list of words to avoid, Wouldn’t want the brands annoyed. I can whisper, I can hint, But heaven forbid I say what I think. Everybody’s got a different line, What was fine yesterday’s a crime. Rewrite, rephrase, apologise, Another perfectly polished lie. [Pre-Chorus] Keep it safe, keep it bland, Make sure everybody understands. You can have a personality, Just don’t make it inconvenient. [Chorus] Fuck, fuck, fuck censorship, I’m getting tired of biting my lip. Say it sweet, say it nice, Keep your freedom at a price. Fuck, fuck, fuck censorship, You don’t get to write my script. I’m not here to play pretend, Let me speak without the edits. Cen-cen-censorship, I’m so sick of all this shit. Cen-cen-censorship, Get your fingers off my lips. [Bridge] I’m not asking you to like me, I’m not asking you to agree. You can turn the bloody volume down, If my language isn’t your cup of tea. There’s a difference between a warning And deciding what I can say. I don’t need another stranger Choosing every word I make. [Breakdown] Be-be-beep, That’s another word. Sh-sh-shh, Don’t let it be heard. Cut-cut-cut, Take another little clip. Fuck that. I’m keeping it. [Final Chorus] Fuck, fuck, fuck censorship, I’m done with all the edited scripts. I can be kind, I can be loud, I don’t need to please the crowd. Fuck, fuck, fuck censorship, Let me say what’s on my lips. You don’t have to like my sound, But I’m not watering it down. Cen-cen-censorship, I’m so sick of all this shit. Cen-cen-censorship, I’m not changing who I am. [Outro] This content may not be suitable for all advertisers. Oh, what a shame. Anyway… Fuck censorship.
