Political *Science 2022 (a.k.a. Official Science) - a very rough first take

A ballad of bureaucratic benevolence for our times.

(Parody of “Political Science” by Randy Newman)

They don’t believe us, I don't know why
They think for themselves, despite how much we try
And all around, our little lies just get put down
Let's tell the big one, and see what happens

We give them mandates, but are they grateful?
No, they're spiteful and they're hateful
They don't respect us, so let's surprise them
We'll tell the big one and criminalize them

Gender’s fiction, men can give birth
Cow farts are about to end all life on Planet Earth,

>>Freedom and slavery are the same;

Let’s tell that big one, they’ll be "dangerous" who blame us

Just take Australia
Box you up like a kangaroo
A gulag’s their idea of an amusement park there
Mask up for surfing too!

Soon we’ll show them, and soon they will see,
Soon they will learn there's no room to disagree
And every city, the whole world 'round
Will conduct votes how we tell ‘em, and we’ll put dissension down
Oh, how peaceful it will be
We'll set everybody free
Won’t we have a ball when we get them all to say that freedom’s slavery?

They’re our subjects anyhow,
So let’s tell the big one now
Let's tell the big one now
