In my day you could call an [A] an [A]

Go down the [B] shop

Take-away from the [C]s

But nowadays

You can’t say anything any more


Said [D] growing up

Then it had to be [E]

Now you don’t know where you are

Because today

You can’t say anything any more


They can’t take a joke ‘specially [E]s

Skins so thin you could see right through

Except you have to see, they gotta be seen

Don’t they?

You can’t say anything any more


It’s a fact the [E] has it good these days

Lucky to be discriminated, beat down

That’s how you get the power

Meanwhile over here

I can’t say anything any more


I am in no sense a [F] by the way

Some of my best friends are [E]

Well neighbours - some - sorta

This is my point

You can’t say nothing, it’s mad


Look I have no problem with [E]

Doesn’t matter if that’s you

In fact I [G]’d an [E] on hols

But probably

Can’t even say that any more


Don’t call me a [H] is my point

I don’t have a [H] bone in my body

It’s actually quite hurtful

Telling me

I can’t say anything any more


Besides you’re a bit [H] yourself

Calling me [H] like that

Things are gonna be a whole lot better

When

You can’t say anything any more


You know what? You’re an [I]

Yeah I said it an [I] and a [J]

So get to [K] and go to [L]

Then

I can say anything once more
