In Liberal Land

In liberal land the poppies grow Though not too long for soon they're smoked How else can they maintain a belief That's mired in fantasy and grief They have consistency of mind Their brains malfunction all the time But don't let politics revolt Inside they house a heart of cold Their way of thinking was set forth In a fairy tale of yore Where nothing was as it appeared And playing cards could speak and hear They've dwelled inside that rabbit hole Since long before Frank's polio Where common sense is a disease And all that counts is feeling pleased With how they've been so kind and bold In carving life from helpless souls Who none the wiser cast their votes For shamans dressed in phony hope It took a child to bare the king For none dare speak while witnessing The simple truth before their eyes Their brains whitewashed through guile and lies They seized the schools, the bench, the arts Upturned the vendor's applecart Til none were left to pay the rent Totalitarian government
