America you dont really want to go to war.
America its them bad Russians.
Them Russians them Russians and them Chinamen. And them Russians.
The Russia wants to eat us alive. The Russia's power mad. She wants to
            take our cars from out our garages.
Her wants to grab Chicago. Her needs a red Readers Digest. Her wants            our auto plants in Siberia. Him big bureaucracy running our              fillingstations.
That no good. Ugh. Him make Indians learn to read. Him need big black niggers. Hah. Her all make us work sixteen hours a day. Help.
America this is quite serious
America this is the impression I get from looking in the television set.
America is this correct?
I'd better get right down to the job.
It's true I dont want to join the Army or turn lathes in precision parts factories, I am nearsighted and psychopathic anyway.
America I am putting my queer shoulder to the wheel.
