Meme Against the Law (Jun 6 @ 8:25 PM) v6

[ intro] [fingerpicked acoustic guitar and cello] [baritone female vocals] Meme against the law Has the police knocking at grandma's door It doesn't matter if you have no guns Laughing is banned and so is fun [Verse 1] Others cast hand grenades, throw bricks while burning cars But if someone wants to talk, well that's just a bridge too far [bridge] [falsetto] Words are violence Words are violence [chest voice] Always echoing fictional crimes Why is it like this most of the time? In fragile, frightened comfort You call words hate Can you point to where the doll got hurt? And your brittle feelings got destroyed... [Verse 2] Your boos don't phase me, I see what you cheer for Another life is gone, so precious and dear Your boos mean nothing to me, I see what you cheer on Another life now gone, an important life now gone [chorus] Meme against the law Has the police knocking at grandma's door It doesn't matter if you have no guns Laughing is banned and so is fun [Verse 3] So I joke in the silence until they decide my fate A pre-crime tendency and cognitive flaw Accuse me of crimes and make memes against the law You're deleted, suffocated, not metaphorically Maybe my death will be an example of why we don't talk any-more [verse 4] Talking is violence, fictional crimes If the shoe was on the other foot, you wouldn't survive In fragile, frightened comfort You call words hate Can you point to where the doll got hurt? And your brittle feelings got broken [Outro] It doesn't matter if others throw bricks or bullets towards my face Words are violence, ideas contraband And joking is against the law How did a gentle soul become such a radical criminal? Someone is doing time because of false accusations of violence Because words are violence More than the grenades, more than the bullets, bricks and stones Or the city burning down Words are violence Words, words are violence
