Hear ye, Hear ye, the court's now in order,
We're all going to pretend that there are no more borders.
Why is the world's fate on the edge of a knife?
Why is everyone struggling with sorrow and strife?
Let's do things the right way, and work hand in hand,
We'll all try and do things, try to improve our own lands.
We're going to help those that need it, not the leeches and ticks,
For them its do or die, those self-absorbed pr*cks!
I know that it is a great, and positive image I have spread,
That is why I am now lying here, broken and dead.
