Never again. Never again. Never again. Never again.

Barbed wire blues. Dylan on the harp about the Jews.

Neighborhood Bully. Styx and stoned. Use it or lose.

Chaos smoke and Cain reemerged among false men.

They're introjecting Nazis now, circle around.

Safety Patrols sniffing out Shiite tools,

fatwa by democracy, ululating fools

who need historical comeuppance and shutdown.

.

They'll be safety patrols throughout the region now

just as there are safety patrols throughout the world,

as the empire's brave new world order gets unfurled,

and no state ever again fucks with the cash cow.

.

Nothing's as antisemite as semites fighting --

brothers in arms in the Promised Land. Exciting!
