\"Songwriting<\/a>
Songwriting at the 1st Amendment Monument Under the Eye of Authority<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

LYRICS
\nYou can’t smoke
\nYou can’t drink
\nThey’re passing a law — you can’t think<\/p>\n

You can’t toke
\nDoesn’t oppression stink?
\nPlacing the last straw
\nYou can’t even blink<\/p>\n

Chorus
\nAmerica!
\nHome of the free and brave?
\nAmerica!
\nOr are we now the slave?<\/p>\n

The bloated bloke
\nGreased palm and a wink
\nCausing a flaw
\nAnd more than one kink<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n
