Verboten

Your particular point of view,

Ain’t permitted ’cos it’s red;

No matter whether it’s false or true,

It annoys me that it can be read.

Blackshirts are marching down the street,

Coming to sort dissenters out,

Thirty Pee’s thrown some red meat,

Sod your civil rights, they’re up the spout.
