No Kings
Tweaked by their puppet strings
No emperors
Losing their tempers
No dictators
Trying to be crusaders
No disappearances
And prosecutions for interference
No overseas prisons
Except for politicians
No secret police
Patrolling the streets
No masked public servants
Acting as insurgents
No facial recognition
Storing biometric data without permission
No plastic munitions
Used without preconditions
No tear gas
Used to suppress and harass
No curfew
The authorities are still supposed to serve you
No troops on our streets
Under the pretext of a breach of the peace
No martial law
That we all foresaw
No military parades
Feeding into orange charades
No unbridled executive power
A human centipede waiting to devour
No sacking of the public purse
Make the billionaires reimburse
No oligarchs
Instead start quoting Marx
No plutocrats
They are like sewer rats
No Fascism
Turning the screws on the class system
No Supreme Court
They are brought and paid like an escort
No Freedom
In this fiefdom
No republicans
Who seem to want to go back to Dickens
No democrats
They are like Guildenstern and Rosencrantz
No bill of rights
Not even the highlights
No constitution
Without revolution
No Kings
