Feed the vulture, cancel culture,
Stitch up surgeons with their sutures
Stone the prophets, steal their futures
Prevent clairvoyants telling fortunes
Cancel agents and their clients
Halt the scientists, stop the science
Erase all emblems of defiance
Tear down works of literary giants
Silence sculptors and musicians
Artists, painters and magicians
Cancel art that speaks against you
Blot out history that offends you
Limit the freedom of the press
Shut down the media, more or less
Cancel language, cancel talking
Stop us thinking, running, walking
Cancel culture, flex the strong arm
Cancel all that triggers alarms
Call them all out, name and shame them
Cancel culture, then pass the blame on
