‘Twas in the 2000 election,
It seems very clear to us all now,
The thing that we lost was our voice.
We’re told by most all of our leaders
That we should not dare criticize,
They say that our Nancy Pelosi
Should retract and apologize.
Chorus:
Bring back, bring back,
Oh bring back my Free Speech to me, to me,
Bring back, bring back,
Oh bring back my Free Speech to me.
It’s really the whole truth that hurts the.
All Nancy did was to state fact.
Now Nancy’s persona-non-grata
To Bush and the Patriot Act.
Our soldiers are fighting and dying
For freedoms they thought that we had.
But truth and free speech are now victims
Of policies cruel and bad!
Chorus:
Speak out, speak out,
Bring back Free Speech to us, one and all
Speak out, speak out
Bring back Free Speech to us all.
