do not make waves just go about your daily chores and keep your eyes down on the floor you don’t really want to rock the boat you’ve got it pretty good, don’t ask for more things are relatively great and good things come to those who wait you’re represented in our democracy you don’t really need to participate do not make eye contact with that strange woman on the street yelling with that cardboard sign write her off as just crazy and congratulate yourself on being much more dignified than she some people crack but you are much more well-behaved you’ve got your brain much better trained to focus on the trivial distractions and remain docile, complacent, and obey defer to what your masters say when common sense starts flaring up you suppress it right away you limit conversation to tv, sex, weather, and sports democrat vs. republican the system may have a couple warts but it’s still the best government that we’ve got do not make any waves.

(Let’s Go) Waterboarding! well, it’s an age-old method pre-Spanish Inquisition we’ll tie you to a board in an inclined position wrap your head all up in celophane pour on the water cue the gag reflex it never fails to get confessions out of terror suspects outside the U.S. we don’t have to be humane suffocation sensation a drowning simulation shock the conscience? that’s nonsense it’s just enhanced interrogation let’s go-go waterboarding tonight it doesn’t cause organ failure it won’t even leave a mark now, when you’re dealing with terror sometimes you gotta work on the dark side Geneva don’t apply, it’s not torture to keep America safe we’ll do whatever it takes can’t you liberals see what’s at stake? it’s the only way to get results for sure suffocation sensation a drowning simulation shock the conscience? that’s nonsense it’s just enhanced interrogation let’s go-go waterboarding tonight

Real Americans real americans put country first and they are always proud real americans work hard and keep their heads out of the clouds real americans go to church they wave the red, white, and blue and real americans ignore any facts that conflict with their worldview real americans have heartland values hailing from small towns and real americans have a healthy fear of people who are brown real americans support the troops cause wars are fought for our freedom and real americans want closet gays and coat-hanger abortions and I don’t want to be a real american

truth be told, I was scared to wake you up would you recall the night before? would you open up your eyes, see me, and then grab your clothes, run for the door? but I found to my relief that that wasn’t the way it was gonna be the last thing you wanted to do was leave you wanted just to lie in bed with me sadly, I had to drive you to your work on a day gray with rain but you said, though the weather was so bad it was sunny in your brain I always have a pen in my pocket you always have a crossword in your bag you knew one of Carroll’s walrus’ topics and I knew that 13 down was “cad” (a 3-letter word for a scoundrel) and last night I feel asleep fondling that 1937 quarter that you gave me to keep it’s smooth like you cause like me, it’s been worn down I can’t forget how you looked at me I wish you were around right now how we wished for a magic alarm clock we could snooze and make time freeze so we could stay there in bed all fucking day watching David Attenborough dvd’s you always have your crossword puzzle you know I always have my pocket pen now I just have to hope this buzz will last until I see you again I can’t wait ‘til I see you again
