At @AEStudioLA, we believe cancel culture makes thinking complete thoughts dangerous. Cue up "Californication"
-----
Ostracized online by mobs of righteous indignation.
Dismissed into the void without defense or consolation.
A casualty of sophistry - the age of cancellation.
It’s the death sentence writ without the fuss of litigation
The plaintiff cries as the beast can feast on groveling - extorted prostration
The brotherhood of victimhood and endless cancellation…
Fear compels the ne’er-do-wells to posturing and staging,
Celebrities spin, confess your sin, the culture wars are raging!
Hate and public scorn,
New crowns of thorns
In the age of cancellation
In the age of cancellation
In the age of cancellation
In the age of cancellation
Voice your concern, you’re the next one to get burned, it’s a delicate conversation,
We now deride what our parents supplied, just misguided fornication
So Rock gets his scars when a fresh prince spars and Hart earns cancellation
Truth may seem the safest of speech, but it still needs a sanctification
And mutineers will disappear for a lack of authorization
And facts deface a safe space in the age of cancellation
Write afraid of new charades and lines of demarcation
Livings lost by pronouns or Chinese pronunciation
Hate and public scorn,
New crowns of thorns
In the age of cancellation
In the age of cancellation
In the age of cancellation
In the age of cancellation
An Op-ed’s script is a heretic’s crypt in a newsroom altercation
And classroom feuds stifle latitudes of several types of conjugation
And ivory towers cower in the age of cancellation
Disaffect in retrospect and raise your hands for waving,
Jefferson we shun with Washington, but who are we enslaving?
Hate and public scorn,
New crowns of thorns
In the age of cancellation
In the age of cancellation
In the age of cancellation
In the age of cancellation
