Congratulations ! Today is your day!
You get to decide What others can say!
It’s true, you maintain, Free speech is a thing, But if you just shut down bad guys What harm could it bring?
It makes the world safer To stop dangerous chatter, So some feathers get ruffled What does that matter?
But some of us said, No, no, don’t you see? If you stop some from talking Then no one is free.
If you start down that slope You’ll go faster and faster, You’ll twist up your values And end in disaster!
But you don’t want to listen, No you will not relent, So at the top of the slope You begin your descent.
Now the slope I admit Sure seems fun at the top, The power you feel Making trigger words stop.
You’re fighting the Russians! Their memes and their lies! You’re protecting elections From bad foreign spies!
This is neat! Kind of cool! A real rush! you exclaim, To beat Donald Trump At his Twittering game.
He’s a racist! A N*zi! He really must go! We can’t have Orange Hitler Tweeting evil, you know.
Faster you speed Down the hill nice and steady, When a pandemic happens, You’re primed, now! You’re ready!
Your sources approved! Those others are fools! Our safety’s at stake When they question the rules.
You don’t need to listen to naysaying clowns, Follow science and doctors, And shut the rest down!
Well, doctors, we remind you, Do not all agree, And science is not a Religion, you see?
There’s much disagreement, The studies aren’t clear, And crushing dissent Isn’t science, it’s fear.
But you’re going too fast now, You can’t hear us at all, With the wind in your ears And your slope in free fall.
Silence the jerks, you rage! Stop Rogan! Stop Kory! Shut McCullough up, now! He’s ruining The Story!
When you’re going so fast It’s quite an endeavor, But those terrible words Seem more dangerous than ever!
Like a rocket you speed Down the slippery slide, When a war breaks out, quick! You must now choose a side!
That’s easy, you’re sure of Just what you will do. If Russians are Team One, Then you’ll root for Team Two!
Yes, for all of these years From the top of the slope, You’ve stopped the bad words! You’ve sided with Hope!
So what if the side You’re supporting of late Is a scary battalion Spewing sick Naz1 hate?
You don’t think it strange, (‘Cause you know all the facts), You’re stopping those Russkies Right there in their tracks.
And you have a thought then You never thought you could, That all Naz1s are bad— Except when they’re good!
You must try to stop those Old photos from sharing! The ones with the soldiers And the flag they are bearing!
If there aren’t any photos At the end of the day, Did it actually happen? Was it real? Who can say?
Principles don’t matter It really does seem, When the important thing is Being on the right team!
The team that’s in power, The team holding sway, The team that always tells you What to do, think or say.
Yet as you careen towards The end of this slope, Oh dear! You may feel Quite a bit like a dope.
You thought there was water Waiting there at the base, But when you see it’s just rocks?
Oh! The look on your face! But you’re going too fast now It’s sad but it’s true, You never thought this ride Could ever hurt you.
And as you make one last Spin through the air Will you remember, we warned you What would soon happen there?
I’m sorry to say that I told you so friend, Destroying your values is how this would all end.
