So Speak
When the world's gone black
One would be a fool to consider going back
Change
Go along with the current
Instead of moving against the
Rage
But 'tis how we speak
Most innocuous, don't you think?
So much doublespeak
So much beating around
So speak, you fools
Be blunt, force yourself in
For that leads to change
And progress and revisions
Of society's most sacred and worthless laws
To think what you have is
Original, is creative
Is to go against humanity
Even Shakespeare stole
And he's held above all divinity
So speak, and be heard
And never wonder who said what first
Because worrying about the frivolous details of life
Leads us towards the age we fear
So when your Thanksgiving table
Features half-talk about all the latest fashion
Remember a simple statement of fact:
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are
Still dead
