Acid Drops Lyrics - That What Is Not - Public Image Limited

What does it mean, what does anything mean 

What is not dirty, what is not clean 

Sending out signals I see the smoke screens 

What should we not hear, what shouldn't be seen 

Running off verbals like a runaway truck 

Who censors the censor, can I do that myself 

Make up my own mind like anyone else 

Forget me, forget me not 

Mind over morals, anything banned 

Remember me like acid drops 

The zealots are marching with Bible in hand 

Keyed to the roof 100 proof 

Desperate Susans, desperate Dans 

Some of them hairpins, some of them clams 

Who censors the censor, can I do that myself 

You read but missed my plot 

Make up my own mind like anyone else 

You only see that what is not 

These are clueless, living in fear 

Scared of their own sex or anything clear 

Still looking down proboscis crown 

Vague hope and no charity-welcome to the 21st century 

What is bad language, what shouldn't be heard 

The hush puppy hushes, a dummy dumb struck 

Or used as a token or used as a word 

What is not dirty what is not clean 

What is not filthy, what is obscene 

Who censors the censor, can I do that myself 

Forget me forget me not 

Make up my own mind like anyone else 

Remember me like acid drops 

These different colours, different style 

Prejudice prods through a big picket fence 

Different cultures-these blend in a while 

Divided we fall without a defense 

The seat of easement, the privy parliament 

There everywhere, these tricks of the trade 

Petticoat merchants bent on intent 

Some in the light, some in the shade
