Hey you.

You know what makes us really angry? You know what really pisses us off? It’s when you go under cover and cheat! You betray us. Didn’t you know? You’re either with us or against us. There’s no room in between.

Just like

Alice Cooper and band with their hands down their pants. Or Dick Cheney threatening to shoot if you don’t buy this magazine. Or the two camels having sex for The Economist. Or Muhammad Ali pierced by bows and arrows. Or Andy Warhol drowning in a can of tomato soup. Or like The Black Crows’ pubic hair. Or like The Rolling Stones’ public toilets. Or like The Beatles’ butcher… Don’t worry, we fought with all of them…

…Or

just like ‘dem Cowboy’s and Indjuns. Oh, we had a great game of Cowboys and Indjuns back in ‘dose olden days. They didn’t know what they were doing, ‘dem darned Indjuns. We beat any God damn spirit that they had right out of them. We covered ‘em up real good with our laws and rules. And now they’re one of us. Them’s the enemy. Who’s the enemy?

You.

You’re all the enemy. You’re like rats, vermin. We can treat you like shit and you wouldn’t know, ‘cause do you know why? ‘Cause, YOU’RE NOT HUMAN!

Oh!

What a world! What a world it will be when you’re all the same as us. It’s not far now. We will all sit and watch reality TV and buy Air Jordan’s and they’ll make us fly. And every night the sky is covered in stars and darkness but no one knows, because you are all covered in the neon lights of your TVs and computers, none the wiser! And you continue developing covers and disguises for yourselves on the internet…and fake…and fade…away…like…flakes…

Everyone

will be following orders from up above. JUST DO IT! It’s for the best.
