Curse words and violence

Parental absence

Anything risqué

That’s what you can’t say

No words offensive

No dark themed motives

“Think I might be gay”

That’s what you can’t say

No impact

So long to Lord of the Flies

No Lorax

Cause it makes all the loggers cry:

“That attacks

All the things that give us our pay”

So, that’s what you can’t say

Huck Finn is racist

It made the A list

Of the books teachers throw away

‘Cause that’s what you can’t say

Dead Zone’s banned

It’s simply just too scary

Satanic plans

Is what’s hidden in Harry

Potter’s books

We’ll have no filth in here today

That’s that you can’t say

Surely you see Salinger is filthy

His book’s filled with swears and sex, No

We’ll have only clean things

No bad or obscene flings

You can’t duped or perplexed

Two moms? That’s just wrong.

We’ll meet it head on

We’ll burn …

We’ll burn…

We’ll burn it all

Here, read Dick and Jane

It is completely hazardous

And it also makes sense

Not like some

Books that should just be thrown away

(Just be thrown away)

That say what you can’t say

Just safe books

So you don’t get the bad thoughts

Ray Bradbury

Tells you lies that he made up

About how

Book burning is not the right way

(Liar says it’s not the way)

He says what you can’t say

Now we live

In a perfect little safe house

But outside

It’s a chaotic whorehouse

Stay inside

We’ll protect you from foul display

And things you can’t say

You’ll say just what we say...
