last day of free speech
- noah mclaughlin

on this last day of poetry and forgiveness
on this last day of love
on this last day i can pray to any god i want to
i just stand here and watch the setting sun

will i forget the words? forget how to say?
will i forget the words? forget how to play?
on this very last day...

on this last day of humming free & roaming far
on this last day of rhyme
on this last bit of chaotic melody
i will hang an open line

will i forget the words? forget how to say?
will i forget the words? forget how to play?
on this very last day...

i am tired of borrowed words & empty signs
i am weary of songs
that do nothing but echo loud & echo far
the same dull throbbing throng

will i forget the words? forget how to say?
will i forget the words? forget how to play?
on this very last day...

What did they say
what did they do
to display your wrath in full view?
to displace the hate in you
but if silence is golden...

then, shhhh
because I can barely hear
even if I could, would I care
would you?

Where are the cameras
and who's gonna stop us anyway
if this is the last day of free speech
what would you say?

but if silence is golden
we'll all be millionaires, then
if this could be the last day
(oh no) what would you say?

Well it's the last day of free speech
And I'm ready to go
Last day of free speech
And I've said what I've needed to say
And if that ain't okay
Suck it up, 'cause you're getting things your way
'Til the end of time

I'm not really mad
Got no feelings
I just spit it out, what I got
Though I don't really think it's a lot
You could've given me some warning
So I could get my thoughts together
But I don't care, I'm just debating whether
I can start a revolution
In just one day

'Cause it will be kind of hard with nothing to say
But maybe words would get in the way
Don't wish to have your heads in my hands
Just have to think of something, so you'll fulfill my demands

Since I've been dragged around, you could at least make it seem symbolic
By holding a free speech rally in the back of a cold meat locker
For a few days, at least

Well it's the last day of free speech
And I'm ready to go
Last day of free speech
And I've said what I've needed to say
And if that ain't okay
Suck it up, 'cause you're getting things your way
'Til the end of time

It's not so bad
Not so zombie-like
I just think all the time, and stare at the wall
I could really care less about anything at all
You could've given me a list
To avoid apathy like this
But I don't care, I'm just debating whether
I should say a prayer
So that I don't die

'Cause it will be kind of hard to live when I've got nothing to live for
But maybe that's not important anyway
Don't wish to have your heads in my hands
Just have to waste away the best way that I can

Since I've been walking around, I've talked to alcoholics
And they all say they've got no reason to drink
For a few days, at least

Well it's the last day of free speech
And I'm ready to go
Last day of free speech
And I've said what I've needed to say
And if that ain't okay
Suck it up, 'cause you're getting things your way
'Til the end of time

Well it's the last day of free speech
And I'm ready to go
Last day of free speech
Just go ahead and throw it away
And if that ain't okay
Suck it up, 'cause you're getting things your way
'Til the end of time
