[Akira The Don, Norm Macdonald - Speak Publicly lyrics]

I find like, i have some beliefs that are
Too inflammatory to even discuss
Unfortunately

Because there are certain things in society
That you're not allowed to believe
Or speak publicly
And so I'll just never say them
And I'll just leave them in my little head
Because there are certain things in society
That you're not allowed to believe
Or speak publicly
And so I'll just never say them
And I'll just leave them in my little head

But mostly I find all these things ridiculous
First of all, I hate that we force
People into identifying themselves
By little, tiny, uh
Because we oppress people we
Further oppress them
By forcing them to identify themselves as
What I consider less than human
So if someone says, "I am proud
To be Black" I go
That's too bad for that guy 'cause it's
A retarded thing to be proud of
We see it with White power, if someone says
I'm proud to be White we
See how ridiculous that sounds
But we don't see it when
A person says because
They've been oppressed I'm proud to be Black
But it is ridiculous
We've pushed them into a
Corner where now they're
Going to spend their whole
Life identifying themselves
By the pigment of their skin
Which is a sad waste of life or if you say
"I'm proud to be gay that's what I am
And that's how I'll live my life" oh boy
You're really limiting yourself there
And it's too bad
And I know you've been forced into it
By being pushed down and oppressed
But it's still very, very sad
And I don't think of myself as Canadian
And I think it's a terrible
Thing to say you're proud
To be a Canadian or proud to be an American
All that stuff is nonsense
You may as well be proud to have lungs
You didn't accomplish nothing
You were just born somewhere or, you know
You were just born with a
Skin that's a certain color
Or born with a sexual attraction to a
Certain type of person that stuff's all
It's all just little
Miniature things in life that
Are so unimportant
And when people try to tell me
That God is not important
But that this nonsense is important
I couldn't disagree more

Because there are certain things in society
That you're not allowed to believe
Or speak publicly
And so I'll just never say them
And I'll just leave them in my little head
Because there are certain things in society
That you're not allowed to believe
Or speak publicly
And so I'll just never say them
And I'll just leave them in my little head

There are certain things in society
That you're not allowed to believe
Or speak publicly
And so I'll just never say them
And I'll just leave them in my little head
There are certain things in society
That you're not allowed to believe
Or speak publicly
And so I'll just never say them
And I'll just leave them in my little head
