ORGANIZATIONS: M.R.A.'s Message

(2 of 3)

We're in love, in love, in love, in love — and how! We're madly, madly, madly in love with ourselves. We know how to manufacture things (we know how, we know how) From baby cars to aircraft wings (we know how, we know how) We know how to build skyscrapers, tun nels, , Slot machines, autos, and liner funnels, We know how, we know how, we know how, we know how. And how! We're in love, in love, in love, in love We're in love with ourselves and with our know-how Weiheit'tiu needs our know-how We are super pluperfectly, woner fully right —We are right, we are right, we are right. They are wrong.

ACT Two:

In the land of We Hate You, the people prepare to greet the democratic delegation from I Love Me. Their clothing is uniform, their movements are regimented, their faces are set and purposeful. In uni on they sing: Marching! Marching! Marching! Marching ! Rise the bitter Rise the hateful Rise the needy to our call We shall struggle We shall conquer One the class to rule for all. Pain and suffering our weapons Fear and hunger lead to hate We'll divide, confuse and conquer Victory is our fate! The arriving delegates from I Love Me are not dismayed by such displays of militancy, and they attempt to convert Odioso & Co. to democracy. First man to speak up is Secretary of State Muddle: We've freedom to lie in the press We are free in our homes to raise hell there. Politicians can get in a mess Without being purged for their welfare.

Next comes Agatha Highball, leader of women's social groups, offering democratic emancipation to the regimented women of We Hate You:

Our women are free as the birds Who fly from one nest to a neighbour's When the cream in one cup turns to curds We seek a new field for our labours. We can lecture or flog a golf ball, We can drink with themenfolk in parity, Party politics we overhaul And, boy, how we organize charity.

Briefly Big Businessman Joshua Bible once more expounds upon the need for profits and the blessings of Cadillacs and dishwashers, whereupon the democratic delegation sums up:

You can do what you like

When you like

How you like

And the harm they will never discover.

Provided

Provided

And always provided

You're ready to stay under cover.

The result of this defense of democracy is that We Hate You listens ever more keenly to the warlike counsel of Odioso, and prepares to launch its invasion.
