Any minute now<br />socialism will begin to shine<br />over the continent.<br /><br />From San Diego to Detroit,<br />from Idaho to Tennessee <br />we will build our new world*,<br />just like in Soviet Russia.<br /> <br />Down with capitalist slavery!<br />Without doubts or obstacles<br />we will redistribute wealth,<br />so that everyone will have an equal share.<br /> <br />All children of our shining country**<br />will receive equal wages.<br />There will be no poor, nor rich;<br />all will be poor, but equal.<br /> <br />Unwavering we reach for our goals; <br />our dreams are already in sight. <br />Already lined up into columns<br />are the glorious regiments of Acorn.<br /><br />The signal thunders: onward, to hope!<br />The people rejoice: Yes, we can!<br />And modest HE in simple clothes***<br />leads us forward to change. <br /> <br />No thinking needed:<br />His hand is firm upon the wheel.<br />And we’ll extend a hand of friendship<br />to Venezuela, Hezbollah, <br /> <br />to Hamas, to North Korea, <br />to Iran, Cuba – everyone.<br />We’ll blush, apologize,<br />and they will, hopefully, forgive.<br /> <br />We’ll feed them all, of course,<br />(we have no more enemies), <br />and the entire world of the hungry and the slaves*<br />will love us wholeheartedly.<br /> <br />There will be no way back; <br />as one, we’ll all march forward.<br />We’ll offer free medicine to everyone,<br />so that the populace will thrive. <br /> <br />We, each of us, will love our neighbor<br />and adore HIM, the dearest, above all.<br />We’ll outlaw all coal and oil, <br />so as not to pollute the planet.<br /> <br />As we obstinately strive<br />to kill the capitalist evil,<br />we will stop global warming,<br />the heat generated by criminal corporations.<br /> <br />And children everywhere<br />will chant, <br />thanking dearest leader<br />for their happy childhood.****<br /> <br />People will no longer worship<br />unsanctioned gods,<br />and special honor will be given<br />to HIS religion - Islam.<br /> <br />Neither Christianity nor Judaism<br />will be popular any longer.<br />And CIA, the nest of villainy, <br />we’ll simply bring to justice.<br /> <br />And then, as bells toll victory,<br />we’ll start crushing our enemies, <br />who secretly hide inside the Pentagon<br />and on TV, the Fox News channel.<br /> <br />The deep scars of political differences<br />will pass as a bad dream, will melt like snow, <br />and all Republicans will become, <br />socialists forever.<br /> <br />We’ll all be happy, passionately<br />loving ourselves and our neighbors.<br />But if someone refuses to be happy,<br />it'll be his own fault.<br /> <br />The sky grows dark, the stars start shining,<br />the frost has paralyzed the rivers,<br />and chills prevail: <br />is it really too late to stop this madness?<br /> <br />No matter how hard we tried to hide, <br />the beast of socialism threatens us again.<br />It is so frighteningly familiar!<br />Escape again?
