One Tin Country Dies Away

Listen children to a story,
That was written long ago,
About a Conservative country on a mountain,
And the Liberal Valley folk below.

On the mountain was a treasure,
Buried deep beneath the stone.
And the Valley people swore,
They would have it for their very own.

So the Liberals of the Valley,
Sent a message up the hill.
Demanding all the buried treasure,
Tons of “evil profit” for which they’d kill.

Came an answer from the Mountain people,
“With our brothers, we will share.
All the secrets of our mountain,
And the way to all the riches we have here.”

Now the Valley cried with anger!
Mount your horses, draw your swords!
And they killed the Mountain people,
So they won their just rewards.

Now the Liberals stood beside the treasure,
On the mountain, dark and red.
Turned the stone and looked beneath it.
“Work hard and follow the Ten Commandments” was all it said.

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of equality.
You can justify it in the end.
There won’t be any trumpets blowing,
Come the judgment day.
On the bloody morning after,
One Liberal Dictator will rule……their way.
