They Call it Democracy



They barricaded the street in,
They moved the machine gun up front,
They were ready in alleyways
Mortars in hand,
And bought a few aircraft and hired a band.

After the fourth day,
And no one had come,
They became anxious and went looking for fun,
They stormed at the City Hall to find it closed,
And finished at the photographers a picture to be posed.

And on the tenth day,
The rent man came to call,
They mowed him down with machine gun fire,
And buried him at St. Paul.

It wasn't until the twelfth day,
That anyone had heard,
The people hand uprisen and freedom been declared.
