Online Harms Blues Lyrics

They say it's all for safety keepin' kids from harm

But when you read between the lines it sets off an alarm

They're watchin' what you're sayin' and keepin' tabs on you

With powers so extensive they'll take away what's true

Oh Online Harms Act what you tryin' to hide?

With your warrantless searches freedom's on the slide

You say it's for protection but I can see the ruse

You're censoring our voices singin' the online harms blues

They got a new commission judge jury and enforcer

But where's the accountability when freedom is the cost here?

Sweeping powers granted to control and to decide

Privacy's been trampled and free speech pushed aside

Oh Online Harms Act what you tryin' to hide?

With your warrantless searches freedom's on the slide

You say it's for protection but I can see the ruse

You're censoring our voices singin' the online harms blues

They say it's for the children but the net's a wider cast

Censorin' conversations history tells it fast

From privacy invasions to speech they don't condone

This bill's a slippery slope where freedoms turn to stone

Conservatives are shoutin' liberals join the fray

No one's buyin' the story that this is the righteous way

It's overreach and power disguised as public good

If you value your freedom you'd stand up if you could

Oh Online Harms Act what you tryin' to hide?

With your warrantless searches freedom's on the slide

You say it's for protection but I can see the ruse

You're censoring our voices singin' the online harms blues

Now it's time to question time to make a stand

For our rights and freedoms across this free land

The Online Harms Act ain't what it seems to be

We need to fight for our rights and keep our country free
