How long would you guess?
That people will allow themselves
To be oppressed
Before they rise up nevertheless
And find a way to protest
Then ultimately plot
Their oppressor’s destruction
It’s a simple matter of logical deduction

How long would you guess?
It will take the people
To finally coalesce
Then put their battle armor on
More or less
In preparation for a war
They’ll soon address
Just to rid themselves of an abscess

How long would you guess?
Before it turns into
The wild wild west
With the pieces everywhere
Like a game of chess
Before it even gets to be checkmate
As a consequence or a matter of fate
Those who play the game I’m sure will relate

How long would you guess?
Before it all revolves
Into a ****** mess
As they attempt to get the whole thing
Off their chest
And businessmen in droves
Empty out their desks
Then all anyone will want to hear is, hell yes, yes!
