Speak Clearly
Colloquial speech impediment sediments the medicine
Of ignorance persistent in the pressuring of underlings
Meandering methods of thinking while keeping the unthinking
Caught in the grasp of gossip sold as news
Betrayed are the masses for the passage of time
Spent unknowing of the methods of disguising their crimes
Through chicanery slavery's pictured tasty and savory
Key to vagary is simply booze and gadgetry
Was that confusing? let me say it again
If they're talking to you and you don't understand
Or you resent the information's being clouded by trend
You're not stupid, it's just the time that they spend
Producing flashy graphics aimed at desperate demographics
Accuracy of facts replaced with propagandic practice
This is our message to the wordsmiths in news
Fuck You
Speak Clearly
Be heard
Speak Clearly
Be heard
Speak Clearly
Be heard
Speak Clearly
Be heard
Let me give you an example from a genius in a coffin
I bleed with sorrow for the loss of George Carlin
Linguist and observer that tried to explain
An idea I must labor to echo again
Shell shock, two words, punchy, moving
Sound like it might ruin the life of a human
Has the power to convey condition
So they had to muddy up the description
Battle fatigue, still said with ease but it's longer
Describes one who longs for a rest with some water
What came next was Operational exhaustion
Sounds like it could happen to your car's exhaust system
Weak language to confuse and distract
From the soldier with shell shock from being attacked
So think about it when you hear a reporter
Describe combat personnel with post-traumatic stress disorder
Speak Clearly
Be heard
Speak Clearly
Be heard
Speak Clearly
Be heard
Speak Clearly
Be heard
Of ignorance persistent in the pressuring of underlings
Meandering methods of thinking while keeping the unthinking
