North of 32

praise the great leader 
eyes opened to nothing but light 
when you starve he still does right 
give your soul and its not enough 
he owns your mind 
dissent sends you to family camp 
fight for food with a rat 
praise the great leader 
have no fears 
mind washed cheers
praise the great leader 
numbing 
escape beyond 
and your families heads are gone
