”Oh, the gavel falls,
the cell door slams
For pixel crimes and Twitter bans
A meme too sharp,
a joke too bold
Now I'm a threat — or so I'm told…”
"The Ministry of Memes" is a pop song that satirizes the increasing criminalization of online speech, particularly in the UK, where people have been arrested for social media posts.
Blending dark humor with an ominous undertone, the lyrics follow a narrator who is jailed for creating a meme, highlighting the absurdity of a justice system that treats satire as a crime. The song paints a dystopian picture of a society where free expression is tightly controlled, and humor itself is deemed a threat.
