Watch out cause hes waking up the nation,

Youd better lock your sons and daughters up,

His airwaves hit your brain from all directions,

The thought police have pushed him far enough.

The fcc cant shut him down, he wears that fifth amendment like a crown.

Up he steps the king of all the media, he doesnt run, he would never hide.

Hes got the guts to come on out and say what, from any other mouth is suicide.

He hears innuendo in all you say, hell crawl under your skin like dna.



Talking bout a name that everyone knows - hes gonna tie you up, hes gonna put you down.

Eloquent and brutal with the truth - hes no coward.

Step into his mind and anything goes - if you cant relate, why you hangin round?

The cure for repression - I got good news - heres howard!



There was a time when I would tremble, control freaks getting bolder every day,

And talking governmental inquisitions what Id be thinking I could never say.

Free speech was doomed to be, an ancient relic of society.



Talking bout a name that everyone knows - hes gonna tie you up, hes gonna put you down.

Eloquent and brutal with the truth - hes no coward.

Step into his mind and anything goes - if you cant relate, why you hangin round?

The cure for repression - I got good news - howard!
