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~.
