[Intro]
Dear Peter Mandelson
[Verse 1]
I've been following your recent policy proposals
So now they've gone through, I thought I'd contribute some vocals
The focal point of my criticism's
The ridiculous decision to bring in a system where you flick a switch and
Disconnect the internet when it's suspected
That intellectual infringement has been detected
Even if the relatives they live with definitely didn't
I think it's in your best interest to bin this, yes?
'Cause isn't it a respected institution
That we're considered innocent unless different is proven?
Er, excuse me - how can you excuse exclusion
When you've not pursued a definite conclusion?
You're picking on the little man, the Lilliputian;
Now there's a pain in my gulliver and it's confusing
You're swift to treat your citizens with such little human humour
It's no wonder that we're disilliusioned
This resolution's gonna end in revolution
Just like any other governance that doesn't accept evolution
To be perfectly honest, m'lord, there'd be less intrusion
If you curtly abolished the law and left us to it
And why do games require safety ratings
But any age can see adult-aimed plays and paintings?
It's state censorship, the same as Beijing;
But even China thinks a pirate isn't worth the time of day for chasing
I think Chairman Mao would say the same thing
Since you became secretary, it's like the state's your plaything
You made a massive sacrifice, invaded loads of privacy
But if I wanted to download, there'd be no hope of finding me
I could take my mobile phone to the local library
And utilise the free wireless to find the file I need
Then what are you going to try - to disconnect their ISP?
You might as well just burn the books on rights to speech
