The few surviving samurai survey the battlefield |
|
Count the arms, the legs and heads and then divide by 5 |
|
Drenched in blood they move across the screen |
|
Do I need to point or do you see the one I mean |
|
The one in back, the way he acts |
|
Is he reminding you of anyone we know |
|
Isn't he so like certain people I could name |
|
Halfway through the thirty minutes |
|
Halfway round the world |
|
Here's the story on the genocidal overlord |
|
In the palace with her epilettes |
|
Watch her little gestures as she lights her cigarette |
|
Look at her, you must see it too |
|
Is she reminding you of anyone we know |
|
Isn't she so like certain people I could name |
|
Disembodied and detached a voice describes the scene |
|
As a lizard stalks a helpless creature on TV |
|
Music underscores the tragedy |
|
Eyes with no expression watch the unsuspecting prey |
|
Who is it like, doesn't it strike |
|
You as the very image of someone we know |
|
Isn't it so like certain people--how could anybody miss |
|
The obvious and the uncanny and the clear resemblance |
|
Isn't it just like certain people I could name |
