Statute of Liberty

Rebels and ranters,
Holders of banners ,
Anarchists, acid-heads,
Street marchers, stay in beds,
Sometimes your protest
Just won´t get noticed,
Depends on timing
Whose star is rising,
What story´s in the news,
Which way they pitch the truth,
Which way they shake it,
Subvert and shape it
So they can make it pay
But you can stand free
Under the statute of liberty
Just keep on pushing them away
Media outcries, sketches and outlines,
They´re irresistible, one sound-bite
And you´re full, columns and leaders
March through their readers
Until they all think the same
Chorus
Who airs the voices?
Provides the choices
Of which interest to protect?
Gags some and not the rest?
Free speech can scramble,
Words are a gamble,
Happends so often and to so many,
First they are the coming storm
Then they´re the uniform,
Then they desert you
Harass and hurt you
Until you what they say.
Chorus
