Story behind the song
Please note: Some of the language in this particular number may or may not be suitable for some listeners. The lyrics quote slurs that Archie Bunker used on the TV series “All in the Family.” It’s also worth noting that ironic use of such language was deemed suitable for that primetime series on CBS back in the day.
Lyrics
Love Hate Speech
Music and lyrics by Paul Iorio
Copyright 2014
(Hate speech)
If anyone disagrees with my religion
(Hate speech)
If deities are objects of derision
(Hate speech)
It all depends on whose goose is being gored
(Hate speech)
Holy books say, “Kill until you’re bored”
(Hate speech)
Archie Bunker used “nigger” and “spic”
(Hate speech)
But he meant the very opposite
Of hate speech
The Bible's hate to the Muslim devout
Hate speech
Koranic threats, we can all live without
All my life, I’ve been taught
About the use of irony to say the reverse
All their lives, they’ve been taught
Everything’s literal, even holy verse
I guess this song is probably hate speech
To religious people, they always overreach
The KKK thought the Beatles were hate
They burned their albums and pictures in a blaze
If that’s hate speech, then I really love
Hate speech
