Authoritarian Lyrics

Your way of life is fading fast

In the face of progress, you panic

Ideas and thoughts stuck in the past

If you can't beat it, you ban it

You claim to be a patriotic, free speech loving American

But your words and policies are just authoritarian

You think you can alter history

By blocking access to the facts

But it's very easy for us to see

That the culture war is all you have

You claim to be a patriotic, free speech loving American

But your words and policies are just authoritarian

You know good ideas can stand up to opposing views

And the truth can hold up in the face of scrutiny

But when you have neither, your only option is to remove

The opposition's information with impunity

When you try to shut down any type of debate

You're showing the gaps in your defense

Because dictators only want to dictate

And indoctrinate without resistance

You claim to be a patriotic, free speech loving American

But your words and policies are just authoritarian
