Disneyworld. 22 November 2002.

I tape up the holes
that let the darkness in
I black out the words
that offend the eyes of children
I try for a perfect world
where Mickey Mouse is King
where everyone is smiling
and there is no suffering

I learn to love the jackboot
I learn to know my place
I learn to accept
the things I cannot change
for I am just one voice
but a million voices can make an army
can fight for a better world
can change the course of history

I have to change the universe
I have to preach the purity
where there are no obscene words
where everything is soft.
neutered.
where there is no sex.
no hurt.

I want to live in Disneyworld.

I learn to kiss my oppressor
I learn to accept my slave wage
I learn to accept the things
that I cannot change
the twelve steps to freedom
give up trying to change the world
but I am just a man
in an army that will change the world..
I want to live in Disneyworld.
