of a xtian commonwealth

sacred police watch every word we send
to keep us safe they tell us as they strike
so we must pray or at the least pretend

into the background each one has to blend
no hostile sound should ever reach the mike
sacred police watch every word we send

there is no one on whom we can depend
into each back they'll gladly shove the spike
so we must pray or at the least pretend

to be the ones who their message will vend
as gospel to the rich and poor alike
sacred police watch every word we send

we have to note each new official trend
who is in charge and who will take a hike
so we must pray or at the least pretend

that we are pleased to thank and to commend
the masters of this everlasting reich
sacred police watch every word we send
so we must pray or at the least pretend
