[Intro]
More than a rumor…
Remember, killing humor
(Isn’t funny, honey)

[Verse 1]
A call of arms
For a call out of words
Sound the alarms
Sharpen wits for swords

[Chorus]
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Wouldn’t you have to say
The death of comedy
(Is a tragedy)

[Bridge]
More than a rumor…
Killing humor
(Isn’t funny, honey)
Now cry, baby, cry
(Or no, know no)
Won’t let ‘er die!

[Verse 2]
After all…
The sharpest blade
(In democracy’s arsenal)
Throwing light on the shade

[Chorus]
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Wouldn’t you have to say
The death of comedy
(Is a tragedy)

[Bridge]
More than a rumor…
Killing humor
(Isn’t funny, honey)
Now cry, baby, cry
(Or no, know no)
Won’t let ‘er die!

[Chorus]
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Wouldn’t you have to say
The death of comedy
(Is a tragedy)

[Outro]
More than a rumor…
Killing humor
(Isn’t funny, man)
Can’t you understand:
Killing humor’s killing freedom
(Dumb, dee dee, dumb done)
That is why, funny as it may sound…
(We won’t let ‘er die)
Just look around
(The satire is dire)
World’s on fire
(No, we won’t let ‘er die)

ABOUT THE SONG: The Death of the First Amendment: Trump’s War on Free Speech
As an investigative journalist with decades of experience defending the First Amendment, I’ve faced more than my share of danger. My life has been threatened, my family targeted, I’ve been assaulted by both criminals and police. I’ve been fined, arrested, jailed, and dragged through years of court battles. But I have never seen anything as alarming as what is happening today.

On September 18, 2025, Donald Trump declared that any television network critical of him would risk having its broadcast license revoked. These words came the day after ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! was suspended, following the earlier cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Trump’s message is unmistakable: dissenting voices will be silenced.

My response: this isn’t about “bias in the media.” This is about censorship. This is about silencing opposition. This is about killing comedy before it can mock power — and make no mistake, satire has always been the sharpest blade in democracy’s arsenal.

A Call to Arms
In protest of the ongoing assault on free speech — and in support of Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, and the many journalists slaughtered around the world this year — I’ve decided to return to my roots: satirical wit, where words cut sharper than swords. Long live comedy! It’s time for all of us to pick up the torch and rise. Get your satire on — let’s roll.

PSA: “Killing humor isn’t funny. Kill humor, kill freedom. Not so funny now, is it?”
