The Adventures of Edwin Meese (Lyrics)

"This country," 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" He roared as he galloped throughout every state My hand I'll be raising to signal his fate A lot of his critics express great dismay That our freedom of choice he is taking away But Edwin Meese said, "Who cares what they say Only I can decide what's decent today!" Now he carried out what he had planned At 7-11 all Playboys and others were banned Protecting the public from sellers of slime A couple of stores threw out People and Time "The birthplace of smut which I have traced Because it offended me I'll have it erased Video rock which is filthy and rude And 'Heavens to Betsy,' I'm hardly a prude" So Edwin Meese galloped onward with pride Uncovering porn with each shaking stride Whatever the outcome, it can't be denied He has taken the whole U.S. for a ride
