"The Okay Chorale"

"It’s okay to show a Marine killing a possibly booby-trapped enemy,
But it’s not okay to show backside nudity before a night NFL game,
But it’s okay to stop school kids from having reverse dressup day,
But it’s not okay to show the decapitation of a western aid worker,
But it’s okay to show Abu Ghraib military prisoner humiliation,
But it’s not okay to show people jumping from the flaming towers.
It’s okay to be moralizing prigs until
The bullet bites the bone,
Unless it’s someone else’s bone,
And then it’s okay."

Composed by Gary Cruse.
