#freespeech
The theme of our fourth song battle (as legally distinct from Adam & Joe's Song Wars) was "free speech".
Lyrics
In this world of wrong and right
Hite and spite, black and white
There is call for nuance calm
Do no harm, but build up your grenade arm
There is a moment when expressing all your inner thoughts and feelings
Is healthy; the trouble is the things you say will makes you less appealing
Take all your facts and hold them tightly
Words are flighty, they’re so often twisted
Hold your nose while rolling down your trousers
Take your opinion and shove it up your bum
Words are hard and time is short
Quick retort, no time for thought
Counterpoint their narrative on the spot
You won’t gain a lot from chatting with a robot
There may be words you haven’t read or understood but there’s no need to
When you can copy from an LLM and echo words they feed you
Protect your research from enemy forces
Cite all your sources; they’re so seldom listed
Hold your breath and wait for 30 seconds
Take all your reckons and shove ‘em up your bum
You'll hear all the discussion and context for the songs in an upcoming episode of Convergence.
