Academic Stripes

from The End of Ethnology by Wadge

lyrics

Stop right there you free speech lover
Here’s a list we’ve made of what can’t be said
Oppression has two Ps and Ss
Get that through your insensitive head
So ‘progressive’ this bloodthirsty system
Designed by the mind unkempt
Total silence, a tenant of the horn-rimmed
Slippery conscripts struggle hard to get a grip
Self-appointed blackout beasts
Marauding band of martyred tots
Guardians present their sleeves
So injured birds can wipe their snot
Like fire in a theatre
They’re adding phrases one by one
Someone mean called Sadie fat
It’s like they’d shot her with a gun
Inchoate intellects remanded in custody
Speak never and forever hold your piece
Megaphones don’t morph garble into poetry
Being irritating doesn’t mean you’ve won a thing
Why would so much strength need even more protection?
With pithy knights to fortify the moat
Terrified of a trigger being pulled full stop
Open vocabulary, a tradition of the old
Quivering masses can’t handle the discourse
Opinions might deviate from their own
Decrying labelled fascists for their evils
All the while behaving like a tyrannical clone
No one else will be sanctioned to differ
So shut them down and demand that they atone
Wailing students unfledged and pious
Maybe one day they’ll look back and groan
