PROGRESSIVE HONESTY

(the case against censorship)




I am Enlightened Man.

I like a mucky tale.

I’m opened up to everything.

Porn is my daily mail.

I eat Sid Baker’s bread.

I drink his morning tea.

Only onion can make me cry.

I work in a factory.

I don’t like writing letters.

I read my daily rag.

I go to bed at any old time

With any old willing slag.

I don’t believe in marriage.

I’m selfish to the guts.

Compare me to that randy dog?

I’ll beat him where he ruts!

Tell me to look at culture,

I’ll tell you to fuck your arse.

I like a good old bundle

And a bit of broken glass.

I did my lot of schooling,

But what’s the good of school?

I like to diddle tax and state

And kick down any old rule.

I go to demonstrations.

I’m for this women’s lib.



Abortion strikes me as the end

Like writing without a nib,

And that’s why I’m in sympathy.

I like a bit of blood.

Kill whatever moves and grows;

Convenience is good.

Some prigs’ll say society

Is killing the sensitive man,

But who wants that sort anyway?

Just a bit of cunt and ham.

And like the Spartan she-goat

That suckled all her young

Just so she could see them go

To war and then be hung,

We’ll suckle ourselves to spite the world,

And by the world we’ll die,

Not in a state of ecstasy

But like the bluebottle-fly.
