we’re going to tell you how to be
democratic. would you like to know?
we’ve thought long and hard around
a table down the local,
swilling our beer,
crunching our salt ’n’ vinegar crisps
to a dull, clucking mulch
and we have the solution:
it’s just like ours
and we’re going to tell you.
we’re going to tell you about
freedom, about culture, about
the freedom to be cultured,
the way we do it. why waste
time and energy on your own,
rebelling, dying for it, bartering
whatever you have for it?
you can be just like us
and then
you won’t need to run from us anymore.
