Bad Nation

I’m living dead, I’m a bad nation
As bad as you like to percieve
The easiest for condemnation
En masse, so maybe I’m not me
Because I’m always undistinguished
I am a crowd you ignore
All personalities relinquished 
It doesn’t matter now what for
I cannot see a film director
That could have done a sequel to
Forman’s Ragtime, like a reflector
Under the name of Ragtime Two 
A story of the insulated
Would not attract lot of attention
It would be booed and claimed outdated 
And all the dire consolations
They’ll put into quotation marks
And I’ll be ridiculed to bits
So no more travels in the dark
No waiters bringing fish and chips  
I’m cursed just for the case of birth
This thread will never be unravelled
For me all governments on earth 
Are one – its obvious at my level.
