Stop Being An Arsehole

The time has come, you will agree, to stop being afraid
To do away with subtlety and call a spade a spade
We've passed the point when one can simply turn and look away
Stop being an arsehole!
Okay!

We've been politely sitting on the fence for far too long
And burying our heads in the sand to pretend there's nothing wrong
Ignoring the rotten smell will never make it go away
Stop being an arsehole!
Okay!

We've passed the point of reasonable and sensible debate
I must adjust the balance now before it is too late
Does every ill-informed dallard deserve to have a say?
Society won't progress when there are halfwits in the way

Privileged immature fuckwits do not recognize they're blessed
And when given half the chance they cannot help but make a mess
The grown-ups need to intervene to interrupt their play
Stop being an arsehole!
Okay!

The many folks who fought to have a voice across the years
Didn't do so for old racists to launch political careers
While screaming with entitlement that they deserve to have their way
Stop being an arsehole!
Okay!

The progress that's been made within the realms of civil rights
Cannot simply be abandoned and sent back overnight
Reversing all advancements by four or five decades
Stop being an arsehole!
Okay!

The charlatans who rant against the changing of the tide
Inevitably use all their advantages to hide
When the proverbial hits the fan and will be first to place the blame
By protesting far too much when they should really be ashamed

So let's all shout out loud when there are bigots holding court
Let frank words overpower and cut their frantic raving short
The darker days of history must not be seen again
Stop being an arsehole!
Amen!
