Lyrics

VERSE
I’ve been booked by the speech police
Now I’m tryin’ to make some peace
’Cause I want to be released
I guess it’s time to say the least

VERSE
My mind it has been fleeced
I’ve been made out to be a beast
Everybody tellin’ me to cease
I guess it’s time to say the least

CHORUS
What (All) I did was tell a story
Hell, that’s all I did; it weren’t nothin’ gory
Okay, it was crude; okay, it was lewd
But that’s all I did; now I’m bein’ abused

SOLO/VERSE
The police tried to be kind
I know they’re in a bind
First Amendment in decline
What’s this paper I’m supposed to sign?

VERSE
Temperature risin’ like bakin’ yeast
So before my mind becomes deceased
I’m headin’ south like a flock of geese
’Cause it’s time to say the least

Repeat CHORUS/SOLO/Repeat CHORUS/TAG
But, you know, to say the least
I don’t want to shut up
’Cause, right now, there’s a lot that needs to be said
