Now we're going to play a game
|
that's lots of lots of fun
|
I learned it from my auntie
|
who learned it from my uncle
|
my uncle has a secret job
|
in washington dc
|
something fancy
|
with the government
|
I hear he knows the president
|
first you line up in a row
|
and count "eeny miney moe"
|
there are guards
|
and there are prisoners
|
and this is how it goes
|
|
(key change!)
|
|
1,2,3
|
you are free
|
and the rest must come with me
|
who are you
|
are you a witch
|
no you are a terrorist
|
if you think that you aren't
|
you can tell us who you are
|
but if you are not on the list
|
then you are a terrorist
|
|
and the terrorists get totured
|
even if no proff exists
|
because we can't take any risks
|
and the terrorists get ordered
|
to get back in line
|
so we can play the game a second time
|
|
if you're just a pacifist of some kind of activist
|
then you are a terrorist
|
why it says so on the list
|
if you're a writer or artist
|
or a lover facticist
|
then you are a terrorist
|
'cause it says so on the list
|
and the terrorists get tortured
|
whether or not they want to play
|
because they're guilty anyway
|
and the terrorists get murdered
|
unless the terrorists insists he is not a terrorist
|
but we can't find you on the list
|
are you a doctor or a priest
|
I'm a right-wing journalist
|
so you are a terrorist
|
|
if you're a fat capitalist
|
or a neo-nazi facist
|
we can find you on the list
|
and you're not a terrorists
|
|
isn't this an easy game
|
anyone can play it
|
people of all ages
|
genders, creeds, [?] and races
|
play it with a couple or a giant group
|
entire continents can play
|
the rules don't change they stay the same
|
|
but once the game is done
|
and someone's won
|
there is a variation that is almost just as fun
|
|
1,2,3
|
come with me
|
and the terrorists are free
|
if you lose and get left over
|
then you are a sympathizer
|
if you are a singer-songwriter
|
or a union-organizer
|
bet your bottom-dollar
|
you will be a sympathizer
|
and the sympathizers must be punished
|
even worse than terrorists
|
as an example for the kids
|
sympathizers must be banished
|
so to find out which is which we must refer back to the list
|
if you're a church administrator or a corporate stockholder
|
or a nuclear arms maker you are not a sympathizer
|
if you're not a sympathizer
|
be a terrorist, okay
|
you have to be one or the other
|
or we have no game to play!
