Mine eyes have seen the coming of the mighty censor horde.
They are trampling on the bookshelf where “The Grapes of Wrath” is stored.
They have loosed their lightning on Bruce Catton’s “Terrible Swift Sword.”
Their gangs are marching on!
Refrain:
Glory, glory, light the bonfire!
Glory, glory, light the bonfire!
Glory, glory, light the bonfire!
Their gangs are marching on!
They are burning Harry Potter and Detective Strike as well.
They’d have “Huckleberry Finn” and “Maus” burn side by side in Hell.
The Bible and Quran are books they’re planning to expel.
Their gangs are marching on!
Refrain
The only valid thoughts are ones that they have thought, they’re sure,
And disagreement with them is a thing they can’t endure.
They mustn’t be offended and they have to keep you pure.
Their gangs are marching on!
Refrain
In the beauty of their thoughts they can’t stand any blasphemy.
They don’t want us reading anything that is less than P.C.
They are sure their cause is holy, and they hate a press that’s free.
Their gangs are marching on!
