F The CC Lyrics

I used to listen to the radio
And I don't guess
They're listenin' to me no more
They talk too much but that's okay
I don't understand a single word they say
Piss and moan about the immigrants
But don’t say nothin' about the president
A democracy don't work that way
I can say anything I wanna say

So fuck the FCC
Fuck the FBI
Fuck the CIA
Livin' in the motherfuckin' USA

People tell me that I'm paranoid
And I admit I'm gettin'
Pretty nervous, boy
It just gets tougher everyday
To sit around and watch it
While it slips away
Been called a traitor and a patriot
Call me anything you want to but
Just don't forget your history
Dirty Lenny died so we could all be free

F the CC meaning Fuck the FCC. The FCC is the Federal Communications Commission that regulates interstate and international communications and has increasingly started to censor the media.

addition to ruarchitect: i also think that "Dirty Lenny" is an allusion to Lenny Bruce and specifically in this context referencing a quote from Lenny Bruce, who said: "Take away the right to say 'fuck' and you take away the right to say 'fuck the government.'".

Makes a strong point that this is America. We have freedom of speech. We should be able to talk about the president and curse without condemnation. I believe "Dirty Lenny" refers to Lenny Bruce.

A great big fuck you to the Bush administration and their Patriot Act vision of America.
