it's an attack on censorship and conformity-a warning to control freaks.

this song is defintley about censorship and how, jus because certain people think this is wrong, its wrong for everyone. like cuss words, they are completly pointless, they are just words used to express anger, pain. etc. what is so bad about expressing yourself with certain words? this is also about how, even though all this censorship exists, people are still going to find out, might as well find ot now and get smart for it, that way you are prepared for when u are thrown into a situation where u must use cuss words or something.

yeah i agree that the song is about censorship but i also believe that it is also a bash on the american ways on how everyone has high standards on how things should be We'll be heard anyway! The middle finger is the flag that I wave when I'm silenced the middle finger is the flag he is replacing the american flag with his finger to every member of society that is like you said fuck you cant say that and no matter how many people try to shut him up he will be heard because cenorship pisses him off and he will do what it takes to stop it

Sticker this Censor this Ban this We've got something to say! Release this Condemn this Damn this We'll be heard anyway! That I think is the best part of the song. Other than that, MudvayneChick I think you definitely nailed it right on.
