Read headline, byline, the content so hypocrite
Telling all the plebs: "no no you can't encrypt"
Give us the lock, and now give us the key
Nothing to fear? Nothing to hide? Please.
Your secrets worth protecting but ours? No way.
Give it to us superiors, above your pay grade
United we stand, except when privacy's on the floor
Rivest will tell you, but you're response is a snore
Headline after headline, your security is shit
Letting hackers and crackers get in with no hitch
No punishment planed but "proportional response"
What does that mean? Oh right, I got a hunch!
Bait and tackle, Ammunition for your war
On masses that won't listen to your tired old lore
Scare the people with each alarmist screaming high
Pray no one will listen, try to turn the tide
In court, in print, each governmental plor
What to do, with encryption, less is more
