The Adventures of Edwin Meese

Lyrics

"This county," he shouted, "I've now rated X By smut, we're polluting Youngsters learning of sex A serious crisis of great proportions we've got Perverting our morals with mind-warping rot" "Worse than cocaine, more fiendish than pot Makes me believe it's a communist plot" As he galloped throughout every state My hand I'll be raising to signal his fate A lot of his critics express great dismay Our freedom of choice is being taken away But Edwin Meese said, "Who cares what they say? Only I can decide what is dеcent today" Now he carried out what hе had planned At 7-Eleven all Playboys and others were banned Protecting the public from sellers of slime A couple stores threw out People and Time "Birthplace of smut, which I have traced Because it offends me, I'll have it erased Video rock, which is filthy and lewd 'Cause heavens to Betsy, I'm hardly a prude" So Edwin Meese galloped onward with pride Uncovering porn with each spur-shaking stride Whatever the outcome, it can't be denied He has taken the whole U.S. for a ride [Audio clips from Weird Science] CHET: My name is Chet CHET: [laughter]
