PART ONE

THE SUN DID NOT SHINE
THE CABLE WAS OUT,
SO WE SAT IN THE HOUSE
BY THE WINDOW TO POUT.

I SAT THERE WITH SALLY
WE SAT THERE WE TWO
WHAT ELSE COULD US SPOILED
SUBURBANITES DO?

NO E-MAIL NO CHAT ROOMS
NO TRL OR NINTENDO
NO VIDEOS NO JERRY SPRINGER
WITH HIS TRASH INUENDO.

SO ALL WE COULD DO WAS TO
SIT…SIT…SIT…SIT
AND FACE UP TO THE FACT
WE WERE BOTH BORED AS SH…T!

AND THEN…WITH A SHOCK
SOMETHING WENT BUMP,
IT SOUNDED THE SAME
AS WHEN OUR PARENTS HUMP.

WE LOOKED AND WE SAW HIM
STEP INTO OUR PLACE
THE FAT IN THE HAT
WITH HIS DOUBLE CHINNED FACE
AND HE SAID TO US

“THE TWO OF YOU SPOILED BRATS ARE A DISGRACE!”
“I KNOW IT IS RAINING
AND THE CABLE WENT KABLOOEY,
BUT WE CAN HAVE FUN…
LET'S ORDER SOME CHOP SUEY.”

BUT OUR FISH SAID “NO, NO!
THAT STUFFED PIG MUST DIE
THE FAT IN THE HAT
IS A COMMUNIST SPY!

HE'LL FILL YOU WITH NOTIONS
WITH INTENT TO DISRUPT,
HE'LL SAY YOU'RE A PAWN
AND YOUR GOVERNMENT'S CORRUPT.

YOU KIDS SHOULD BE PLAYING
A NICE GAME OF YAHTZEE
NOT LEARNING THE PROOF OF
HOW GEORGE BUSH IS A NAZI.”

“LISTEN TO ME…LISTEN TO ME…
LISTEN TO ME NOW!
YOUR MINDS HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED
AND I'LL SHOW YOU HOW.

YOU'RE GIVEN ILLUSIONS
AND MATERIAL GOALS
BY CORPORATE CRIMINALS
OUT TO STEAL YOUR SOULS.

THEY'LL PLACE A COMMERCIAL
WHEREVER YOU LOOK
THEY'LL STRANGLE YOUR CLASSROOM
AND DUMB DOWN YOUR BOOKS.

THEY'LL MAKE SUPERFICIAL HEROES
SAYING “TRUE THAT” AND “TRUE THIS”
UNTIL YOU'RE A ROBOT
AND TOTALLY CLUELESS.”

AND THEN HE WENT OUT
AND HE SAID THERE WAS MORE,
BUT THE FAT IN THE HAT
WAS ALMOST TOO FAT FOR THE DOOR

HE BROUGHT IN A BOX
“NOW LOOK AT THIS TRICK…
A GAME THAT WOULD MAKE
ALL THOSE NEO-FACISTS SICK!

LET ME INTRODUCE
THING ONE AND THING TWO
THEY ARE COVERT OPERATIVES
AND HERE'S WHAT THEY DO.

THEY FIX ELECTIONS
MOVIES AND TV THEY CENSOR.
THEY DOCTOR THE EVIDENCE
TO MAKE COLD WARS SEEM TENSER.

THEIR RIGHT WING AGENDA
IS HIDDEN FROM VIEW…
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SHAKE HANDS
WITH THING ONE AND THING TWO?”

THEN THOSE THINGS RAN ABOUT
WITH BIG BUMPS JUMPS AND KICKS.
THEY GOOGLIED THE MOOGLY
AND PLAYED DIRTY TRICKS.

THEY WORKED IN CONJUNCTION
WITH UNION BANK AND CARLYLE GROUP.
THERE WAS NO DEPTH
TO WHICH THESE THINGS WOULDN'T STOOP.

WITH ECHELON AND PREFERRED CARDS
AND COINTELPRO,
UNTIL CORPORATE PROFITS
WERE THE ONLY THINGS TO GROW.

AND I LOOKED AROUND
THE PLACE WAS A WRECK…
POOR HEALTH CARE, POLLUTION
ANGER AND DISRESPECT.

THE THINGS LOOKED UPON
ALL THE DISARRAY WITH GLEE,
AT WHAT THEY HAD DONE
TO THE LAND OF THE FREE.

AND THEN WHO WAS BACK IN THE HOUSE
BUT THE FAT IN THE HAT
THE THINGS RAN FOR COVER
AND DISAPPEARED IN NOTHING FLAT

THE FAT ONE SAID
“HAVE NO FEAR OF THIS MESS,
FEAR IS THE TOOL
BY WHICH THEY OPPRESS!

SEE, THE LEADERS ON WHICH
YOU'VE COME TO RELY;
THEY ENJOY WHEN YOU SUFFER,
DON'T CARE IF YOU DIE.

JUST SO LONG AS THEIR COFFERS
ARE FULL AS CAN BE…
A BLOODSUCKERS PARADISE
THIS LAND OF THE FREE!”

THEN WE SAW HIM PICK UP
ALL THE THINGS THAT WERE DOWN
WITH A CENTRALIZED MOVEMENT
OF SIGHT THOUGHT AND SOUND.

HE SAID, “THINGS WILL BE BETTER
IF WE'RE WILLING TO TRY
TO RECAPTURE OUR FREEDOM
AND SEE THROUGH THE LIES.

SO, NEXT TIME YOUR CABLE
SHOULD HAPPEN TO GO OUT
FIND SOMETHING TO VOLUNTEER FOR
OR JUST SING, PLAY AND SHOUT.

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
NOT IN THEIR DECEIT!”
AND WITH THAT HE WAS OFF
TO GET SOMETHING TO EAT.

THE END?
