Under our great gunvernment
Which now hates z-turning most
Our society is a true socialist democrazy
Full of shitizens (and stupigs)
While many a department and its head
Are trying to pursue propoorpty
As well as a fine sexretary
Most other chinsumers love to
Demonstrate their amimale
In front of circumseers
Like those who enjoy living togayther
In smilence
