Rattle the Asylum Bars

We're liberal and unrefined
And, should we ever feel inclined
We have a freedom to elect
To neither bow or genuflect
To anything or anyone
If it means a little poking fun
Then that's the way it must remain
A sacred cow that can't be slain
Has never seen the light of day

We cannot in our world exempt
Anything at all from our contempt
To do so would be to betray
And even squander it away
This liberty we value most
The Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Would fly a flag for our campaign!
A sacred cow that can't be slain
Has never seen the light of day

A legacy that no one owns
The ravages of sticks and stones
Can never be allowed to cage
The candid truth upon the page
Unpalatable it may be
Nobody here will disagree
But then it goes with the terrain
A sacred cow that can't be slain
Has never seen the light of day

It's something of a toxic waste
Decidedly a lapse of taste
To bring about an interlude
Where sensibilities intrude
So, open any seeping scars
Come, rattle the asylum bars
And take a moment to explain
A sacred cow that can't be slain
Has never seen the light of day
