This day in music history.

January 25, 1999, Paul McCartney bashes British radio and TV stations after they refuse to play the song "The Light Comes From Within," it was the last song by his late wife Linda. It was banned for what was deemed offensive language.
The Light Comes From Within by Linda McCartney
You say I'm lazy
You say I don't fit
Takes one to know one
you make me sick
You say I'm simple
Say I'm a hick
Your fucking no one
you stupid dick
Oppression wont win
The light comes from within
I need a sense of cause
Wanna smell the flowers
You need complete control
You wanna build more towers
You try to change me if you could
I see the trees
you saw the wood
You say I'm different
You say we don't click
I say your crazy
you make me sick
I say your greedy

because you scheme
You say I'm foolish because I dream
Oppression wont win
The light comes from within
I need a sense of cause
Wanna smell the flowers
You need complete control
You wanna build more towers
The light comes from within
