How To Live Happily In a Police State
Let silence be answerable to sound.
Unplug yourself
move with caution through crowds
bow head as if in prayer
yet deny God at all costs.
Let the brave resist...
survive.
Support our leaders
whoever or whatever is in charge.
have no reservations or doubts,
its all for your own good,
for your own peace of mind.
Fake brain damage.
Now that truth is a lie,
agree to agree.
if you are young enough
to be conscripted
volunteer to kill at will.
Avoid clubs and interest groups,
stay under the radar.
Surrender your gun
say you found it in a ditch.
Never complain.
Always smile and nod.
Acclaim proudly
that poverty is patriotism.
Criminals are the real victims,
apologies to all for being you.
When they say we must try harder
to "flatten the curve"
never ask "What curve?"
Believe the official news
toe the line.
Never ask "What line"?
Turn a blind eye
to EVERYTHING.
