Public Image Ltd. - Acid Drops Lyrics

2 questions:  Is that a merkin on the cover?   Is it Scratch and Sniff?

What does it mean, what does anything mean
What is not dirty, what is not clean
Sending out signals I see the smoke screens
What should we not hear, what shouldn't be seen
Running off verbals like a runaway truck

Who censors the censor, can I do that myself
Make up my own mind like anyone else
Forget me, forget me not
Remember me, like Acid Drops!

Mind over morals, anything banned
The zealots are marching with Bible in hand
Keyed to the roof 100 proof
Desperate Susans, desperate Dans
Some of them hairpins, some of them clams

Who censors the censor, can I do that myself
Make up my own mind like anyone else
You read but missed my plot
You only see that what is not

These are the clueless, living in fear
Scared of their own sex or anything clear
Still looking down proboscis crown
Vague hope and no charity-welcome to the 21st century

What is bad language, what shouldn't be heard
Or used as a token or used as a word
The hush puppy hushes, a dummy dumb struck
What is not dirty what is not clean
What is not filthy, what is obscene

Who censors the censor, can I do that myself
Make up my own mind like anyone else
Forget me forget me not
Remember me like acid drops

These different colours, different style
Different cultures-these blend in a while
Prejudice prods through a big picket fence
Divided we fall without a defense

The seat of easement, the privy parliament
Petticoat merchants bent on intent
They're everywhere, these tricks of the trade
Some in the light, some in the shade!
NO FUTURE!

I love how they end with the refrain from God Save the Queen, which was banned by the BBC in 1977.
The worst thing about censorship, frankly, is [content removed for violating Google hate speech policy].

Cool tune.
