Mister Maxwell reads the paper Of the party that he pays for And with subtle nods agrees With each printed word he reads He knows all the phrases to say About the topics of the day And he's politically engaged (Marching in manifestations) And appropriately enraged (By violence and discrimination) To be a hero of society: A once-born self that's ceased to be, A real symptom of democracy! A truly enlightened zombie!
