Goebbel Voices



In the lush beer gardens of New Berlin,
fräulein Democracy dalmatian died
giving birth to a litter of surrogate lies

Fourth Reich Vandals with mongrel desires,
now on a demolition blitzkrieg breathe
Wehrmacht vapors rising volcanic once again

Perfidious voices carried on a turbulent wind — 
Fake news is the re-animated Goebbel slogan
being heard in the New Frankfurt ear taverns

Patented lies vilifying objective truth:
The Fourth Estate being labeled an enemy of the State ...
Stalinist propaganda spouting again clone foaming

Fear and conquest are the twisted twin belching ...
Capriciousness and bloodlust are Mind Kontrol policing 
the corridors of discourse with concentrated stifling

Goebbel voices handcuffing the free press,
as the ministers of disinformation
feed citizens fermented swill that kills republic freewill

Jail those who dare choose to oppose ... 
make them who dissent silently disappear
Kill every thought that don’t conform or give consent

Buried boots from a sordid past are marching once more,
drunkenly singing “Blood and Soil”
Prepare to be ere morality outgunned by the hateful noise
