Fades into the night

Of the far-right

ABOUT THE SONG: The Death of the First Amendment: Trump's War on Free Speech

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.

Oppressors often rely on terror as a tactic, using threats and intimidation to control or silence you. One of their favorite abuses is obtaining illegitimate warrants to raid your home. Luckily, the first time my house was raided in violation of my First Amendment rights, I had just switched lawyers. Though I respected my previous attorney, I knew the opposition was escalating -- even to the point of trying to have the police kill me. From a jail cell, I hired a new attorney who was a friend of my roommate. He turned out to be the lawyer who had represented the "mob" in Philadelphia. During the raid, police even held a gun to his head.

On another occasion, the same six officers slammed me to the concrete, drew their firearms, and trained six laser sights on me simultaneously.

The last time I was raided was perhaps the most shocking. I had filmed local police physically assaulting an innocent victim and posted the video on YouTube. Despite the footage being public, the officer in charge of the investigation obtained a warrant to raid the house I was living in -- my aging and ailing parents' home, where I had moved to care for them in their final years. The warrant explicitly referenced my publishing entity, noting that I was known on the street as KingArthur.com. The raid was traumatic for my parents, who were in their pajamas as I prepared breakfast, while the police pounded and forced their way into the kitchen.

Though these experiences left me with PTSD for a considerable time, they also led to meaningful change: I successfully rewrote both police departments' training protocols, rules, and professional conduct codes.

[Intro]
Jaded?
(Been raided)

[Verse 1]
Don’t bother to knock
(Too late now)
Forget the lock
(Any how)

[Chorus]
Guess you’re comin’ in
(Again and again)
What warrants the warrant
(Is irrelevant)

[Bridge]
Jaded?
(Been raided)

[Verse 2]
At a loss
For probable cause
A coin toss
Or just because

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

[Outro]
Jaded?
(Been raided)
An obscene scene
(Seen… no dream)
Once too often
(Doesn’t soften)
Been raided
(Hasn’t faded)

Albums, Downloads, Lyrics, and Liner Notes

• Killing Humor (Isn't Funny)
• Undercover

"Not for Sale" -- When I first created the pseudonym "mootmute," I also used it as a gamer tag in Halo to test different strategies. Over time, I gained so much experience and ranked up so highly that I started receiving substantial offers to buy the name. But because it was tied to an ongoing legal dispute, I couldn't risk parting with it.

[Verse 1]
Well don't cha know
(Tryin' to lay low)
When a boy asks me...
(I'll pay a buck fifty)

[Chorus]
My name (is not my name)
Just the same...
(It's not for sale)
... it never fails

[Bridge]
Sorry....
(It's not for sale)

[Verse 2]
And, another asks me...
(How much for your tag)
I said, "come on... really?"
(Wouldn't wanna brag)

[Chorus] [Bridge] [Chorus]

[Outro] Sorry....
(It's not for sale)
Can't wait till I can wail
When? (Till then)
It's not for sale
(It's all I've got)
It's not a lot
So, sorry....
