Lyrics

[Verse 1 (A–D)]
A is for Allowed — if you’re saying what they like,
B is for Banned — if you’re out of step or spite.
C is for Cancel — one click and you’re gone,
D is for Don’t Talk — just hum along.

[Chorus]
Oh, the ABCs of free speech,
Some are blest and some impeached.
Say what you want, but mind the rule —
The gov-ern-ment controls the school.

[Verse 2 (E–H)]
E is for Echo — the chorus of the crowd,
F is for Fake News — just shout it loud.
G is for Gagged — when your words displease,
H is for Hush now — get down on your knees.

[Chorus]
Oh, the ABCs of free speech,
Some are blest and some impeached.
Say what you want, but mind the rule —
The government controls the school.

[Verse 3 (I–L)]
I is for Internet — where the trolls all play,
J is for Jester — who can’t joke today.
K is for Kicked out — from the public square,
L is for Listening — but is anyone there?

[Chorus]
Oh, the ABCs of free speech,
Some are blest and some impeached.
Say what you want, but mind the rule —
The government controls the school.

[Bridge / Tag]
Shout too soft, no one will hear,
But shout too loud — and you disappear.

[Final Chorus]
Oh, the ABCs of free speech,
Some are blest and some impeached.
Say what you want, but mind the rule —
The government controls the school.
