So this guy got up in front of a crowd
At the Lincoln Memorial, and what
He said changed the game. One year after that,
The Civil Rights Act passed. A similar
Thing happened a few hundred years before.
Langton and other barons met and
Discussed what to do about the King John
Situation. They came up with a plan:
The Magna Charta. None of this would have
Happened without the possibility
Of speech. Speech it is which gives protection
From unjust wars, laws, taxes, jailings.
But all of that has to be shut down now.
'Cos a guy made fun of his girlfriend’s dog.
